I just recently purchased a Gimix 6809 microcomputer with the OS9 level I operating system, and would like to know if OS9 level II is still available for this system. Is Microware, the maker of OS9, still in business? I haven't heard of the company in some time. If they are in business do they still support OS9? Thanks, Richard F.

You should call Gimix (or GMX, as they now call themselves) for details--you may have a system with a CPU board that will only support Level One (i.e. no memory mapping hardware). They can tell you what you'll need to run Level Two, and can sell you a version that will be correct for your hardware. Microware is still around (otherwise I wouldn't be posting from here :-).

They still support OS9 and also have OS9/68000. Why don't you give them a call. I'm sure they will be willing to help ya out. I don't have their number handy but if can't find it elsewhere please drop me email and I send it to you. John -- John C.

Last month a coworker and myself went to Microware for OS9 training. They have a very impressive facility out in the middle of nowhere. (Well actually next-door to the Iowa Pork Producers headquarters) They can be reached at: Microware Systems Corp 1900 NW 114th Street Des Moines, Iowa 50322 (515) 224-1929
