[comp.os.os9] OS9 on Stellation Mill in an Apple 2e - can it work?

Has anyone managed to get the combination of OS9 V1.1 + Stellation
Mill 6809 coprocessor card + Apple 2e to work? Replacing the 2e with
a 2+ works, the dual processor programs running under DOS3.3 work on
the 2e but OS9 dies soon after booting.

As far as I can make out it dies somewhere in the disk routines.
Can anyone offer any assistance? Please reply via mail.

People have indeed run OS-9 on the Stellation Mill.  (In fact, I recall that
someone actually wrote a letter to Jerry Pournelle about his matrix mul-
tiplication "benchmark", which the letter's author ran in BASIC09 running on
a Mill in his Apple.)
