Well the St has been out for some time now. Has anyone heard of OS/9 implementations for it nearing completion? If microware is on the net perhaps they could comment. It would be ideal if it came on a cartridge so that you could boot it up when you wanted it or just use the machine as is if you wanted to run an existing ST program (I know you can do the same by booting off floppies - I just like the idea of being able to plug in the OS just like any other important computer accessory :-). -- john chapman email to : ...{utcsri,alberta,ihnp4}!ubc-vision!sfucmpt!sfulccr!chapman not the address in the header.

The following is my most recent set of postings to BIX. I think it's self explanitory. ALSO: Those people involved with OS-9 development should identify yourself to me IMMEDIATELY. There is something very important coming up which we'll all be interested in. Please send me your company, position, phone number, address and what your involvement with OS-9 is. ========== os.9/news1 #58, from jimomura, 467 chars, Fri Apr 11 22:43:55 1986 Comment to 57. Comment(s). ---------- Title: ***OS-9 SUMMER!*** The OS-9 68K Atari ST port will be demonstrated at Commmdex. I have just talked to MicroTRENDS and they will be demonstrating a number of things at this year's Comdex. The big news is that shortly we will have OS-9 available from MicroTRENDS for most of the popular computers. This includes The IBM-PC, the Atari ST, the Amiga, and the Apple II anddd IIe. ALL 68000 based. There's more, but I have to post this stuff in spirts. ========== os.9/news1 #59, from jimomura, 397 chars, Fri Apr 11 22:47:49 1986 Comment to 58. Comment(s). ---------- MicroTRENDS also announced that they are licenced to market an Deluxe Software. The datafiles for this software will be directly portable with the IBM-PC version. This means direct compatibility between IBM-PC and OS-9 at the application level for people upgrading their IBM-PC's with the multi-user OS-9 68000/68010 cards currently avaiillable. ========== os.9/news1 #60, from jimomura, 300 chars, Fri Apr 11 22:51:10 1986 Comment to 59. ---------- MicroTRENDS also announced that they will hold a CDI workshop in conjunction with Microware either at the end of September or the beginning of October.
