When you get one, please send or post an evaluation. I've been looking at it too, even bought the o/s manual - seems to be an ms/dos clone. I'm torn between putting my $$$ into that or the Periphal Tech'y PT68K kit that is the current Radio Electronics Magazine project, which uses SK-DOS, another single user/task os. Both are designed to use many low price PC clone peripherals. (standard disclaimers apply) [dale] ------- -------

The PTK-n 68008 boards also run OS/9-68K. I wonder if a port of it will be offered for R-E project system. A multi-user/tasking system is why i want a 68k system in the first placeit pit pi
