Both OS-9 and OS-9000 can run on the 68040 - there is no technical obstacle to this being done. Future product plans are determined based on customer interest - please contact your local Microware rep and make your wishes known. (Your post here also serves that purpose, but a direct conversation may be impart more information). >Markus Wildi, Physikalisches Institut, CH 4058 Basel, Switzerland -- ############################################################################## # Bill Sheppard -- bills@microware.com -- {uunet,sun}!mcrware!mwca!bill # # Microware Systems Corporation --- OS-9: Seven generations beyond OS/2!! # ######Opinions expressed are my own, though you'd be wise to adopt them!######

How do you handle transendental FLOPS (I like the sound of that)
which are not implemented on the 68040 chip. Do you have a
math40.traplib or the like?
Also do you need a new kernel to handle the 40, i.e. if you have a
30 kernel is that enough for now.
