Message-ID: <281@pedsgd.UUCP> Date: Wed, 25-Sep-85 16:45:06 EDT Article-I.D.: pedsgd.281 Posted: Wed Sep 25 16:45:06 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 28-Sep-85 04:39:01 EDT Distribution: net Organization: Perkin-Elmer, Tinton Falls, NJ Lines: 25 Xref: watmath net.micro.atari:1203 net.micro.amiga:226 net.micro.6809:507 Much traffic has been generated lately about possible availability of Microware's OS-9 operating system on the Commodore Amiga and/or the Atari ST. While I have looked over recent magazines for references, it isn't clear to me what machines are currently available running the 68K version of this O.S., or what software is available for it. Note I am interested specifically in 68000 software for OS-9; I have seen many packages offered for the 6809 version. Ready availability of 'useful' software would likely determine whether the porting efforts would be worthwhile. Could someone with better background on this enlighten us as to current vendors' offerings under OS-9/68K? Is there a readily- accessible source for public domain routines? If traffic warrants, I will summarize to the net. Thanks in advance.
