Check out an article on net.micro.68k about lower-cost 68000 systems (ie, only $5000 -- makes a Coconut shudder). The writer says that Microware, the originators of OS-9, are about to release it for the 68K as well! Apparently the motivation is that UN*X requires a hard (Winnie) disk to work at all effieciently, whereas OS9's disk handling is optimized to be tolerable on floppies. Even Radio Shack floppies? still waiting to try that last question, mike k PS: I don't endorse any of the above summary; I just paraphrased the author in net.micro.68k.
