(There were several "no computer owned yet" responses.)
Before I present the roster ... a few common questions:
Q: Microware's UUCP address is:
{ihnp4} ...!cbosgd!apr!mcrware!mcrware
Q: net.micro.6809 is not gateway'ed to ARPANET. net.micro is. Please post
to both.
OK, I will. Can someone out there elaborate? I'm a net-novice and don't
know the rationale for the choices in distribution.
Q: Where can I find out more about the Apple II OS9 package?
Stellation Two
POB 2342
Santa Barbara, CA 93120
(805) 569-3132
This package is unusual in that the 6809 co-processor board
runs concurrently with the 6502, with the latter doing the
I/O work for the 6809. To preclude loss of serial I/O & keyboard
data in the humble Apple, the 6809 performs all disk I/O, keeping
the 6502 free for its I/O duties.
Q: Address for "THE" OS9 User's group?
OS9 USERS GROUP
POB 7586
DES MOINES, IA 50322
1984 Officers (reelections in progress):
President: Dale L. Puckett
VP: Peter Dibble
Treasurer: George Dorner
Better Yet... fill out the below form and mail to the above address.
Membership is $25 per year and this includes a subscription to "MOTD",
published about 6 times yearly. The dues also includes ONE FREE DISKETTE
of public domain software. There are about 6-8 other disks at about $3 each.
I hope this info is current... it's from a late issue of MOTD.
Q: Are there other organized groups?
Per the MOTD newsletter:
Seattle WA OS9 Group
contacts: Dick Dundon (206) 631-4038 or Tim Grovac (206) 630-3091
I am aware of two dial-up BBS's, both in the midwest. There is
supposedly one coming up down in the L.A. area.
To join, send this form with $25 to the above address. [As published in MOTD]

Posting to both means that everyone who subscribes to net.micro has to read all your articles about 6809. If you want articles about 6809 gateway'ed to ARPANET, then *get* net.micro.6809 gateway'ed to ARPANET. All of us who don't care about the 6809 and wish to remain subscribed to net.micro thank you.
