I've finally received my expansion board for my QT-20X and I
am in the process of porting some software to OS-9 68K. I've
given this a bit of thought and I don't have that much time to
do much on my own, so I'm hoping to find one or two people who
might want to do some 68020 hacking. I've come up with this
idea:
First, I can allow a small number of people to try out
my computer online. I have a port dedicated to incoming calls
and I can set it up for 300 or 1200 baud. I doubt if many people
would be interested in 300 baud, but I can't afford converting
to 2400 baud at this time. I have the C compiler, debugger
2 versions of MicroEMACS and what I consider a fairly good
array of programming aids. If you want to try out the system
you can contact me by Usenet mail and I'll arrange an account.
There's NO OBLIGATION in this respect. You can pretty much
do what you want so long as you don't take up too much disk
space (up to a Meg. or 2 Meg. is OK). There isn't much online
documentation, but a few voice phone calls should handle most
problems. Obviously people who have tried out OS-9 on 6809
systems will be able to get along better than pure beginners,
but you might find it interesting anyway.
Second, if you feel you'd be interested in helping me port some
software, and if you have the time, we can discuss that too.
There's no money in it. The software is public domain stuff. You
can, of course keep a copy of whatever work you do. If you're
a student, or if you're a system integrator and want the experience
it's cheaper than going to seminars to learn about multi-tasking
systems!
As I said, if you're interested, you can send me a message
at 'lsuc!jimomura'. If you call by voice phone, please leave a
message on my answering machine.
Cheers! -- Jim O.
