It would seem that OS9/68K would be an ideal substrate for the 'visual/mac-type' user interface that they provide. Does anybody know why they decided to "go their own way" and develop custom OS's for their machines. Are the OS9 developers so unreasonable about relicensing that this was impossible? Or is there something about OS9 that makes this less sensible than I think it is? Rick Thomas ihnp4!attunix!rbt

Last time I'd heard, OS9/68K used unaligned operands, and so would only work on the 68008 and 68020 CPUs, not the 68000, 68010, and 68012. Does anyone know differently? -- Doug Pardee -- CalComp -- {calcom1,savax,seismo,decvax,ihnp4}!terak!doug
