I'm looking for an exchange of info and software with users running
OS-9 on a 68k. I'm considering building a small 68k machine running OS-9 and
I would appreciate info from users with experience in implementing it on
non-standard machines.
Thanks,
Byron Jeff

Perhaps a note here to say that you have done such a port and then we could query (via mail) for details. Brian Lloyd ...![bellcore!cp1]!yojna1!wb6rqn

Not many people actually do ports because they tend to be people who know what systems are out there already. That is, there are a handful of good single boards around and they already have ports. The current hot setup is the Gimix/Data-Comp Mustang 68020 board. It costs $2750.00 US, wired, tested with 4 DB25 Serial ports (pre-wired) and requires cabinet & pwrsupply ($269.95), cables (floppy or hard $39.95) OS-9 68K $350.00 (special version). MC6881 floating point is supported but not included. 12.5 mHz., 2 Meg. RAM, (up to 256K ROM), 1 - 8 bit parallel port, expansion port 16 bit, battery backed real time clock, floppy controller, SASI interface (controller is not included), Programmable Periodic Interrupt generator. This is the Cadillac of 680xx, OS-9 systems. Uniflex is also available if you buy it from Gimix (the Uniflex is Virtual Memory and fully 68020 optimized). There are a couple of other 680xx single boards around that have their own OS-9 ports. Also, there's a 68000 adapter board for Z-80 CP/M systems with OS-9. So not many people do their own ports when they have this much to chose from. Call Data-Comp at (615) 842-4600 if you're interested. Or Gimix at (312) 827-5510. For porting info, call Microware (515) 224-1929.

We are very experienced at that. There are also many other companies that have ported OS-9 to their hardware. Contact us via email for more information on this. I can provide the required technical information. Andy Ball can provide business related information.
