[net.micro.6809] request info on systems

tfp@busch.UUCP (Sud-sucker) (11/13/84)

    I was hoping to get some information and opinions about
some 6809-based systems (if there is a 68000 machine with OS-9, that's
also of interest).
    I've heard a little about the following folks:

    GIMIX: "large" 6809 systems (whatever that means)

    Smoke Signal Broadcasting: has something called the Chieftain

    Peripheral Technology: supposed to have a neat little SBC

    Radio Shack CoCo: the cheap entry in the field, I suppose

    Basically I just wanted to hear general info (performance, options,
PRICE, etc...) and opinions (plug your favorite machine) about some
of the 6809 machines (and OS-9 while we're at it). I haven't gotten
any concrete information on anybody except the CoCo... and if you
know something about anybody not listed above, don't be shy.

    If I get lots of stuff mailed to me, I'll post a summary.
    Thanks in advance.
