We are looking into an operating system which can run in a VME/Motorola/Multi-Processor environment. So far we have identified PDOS, PSOS, OS-9 and VRTX. If you know of any other alternatives, or have experience with or knowledge of any of the above, could you please email me?

You might look at Amoeba, a distributed system that also can run on a VME multiprocessor, although it was really designed for disjoint memory machines. There was a paper a year ago in the Oct 1988 issue of ACM Operating Systems Review, as well as papers in each of the last 4 IEEE Distributed Computing Systems Conferences. I can also send a recent Amoeba paper with lots of references to anyone who sends me email requesting it. Amoeba is now being supported by the Open Software Foundation as a possible candidate for OSF/2 or OSF/3. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)
