[net.micro] OS9 --> net.micro.6809

Those of you who are curious about OS9 should post your queries to the
net.micro.6809 newsgroup.  OS9 is a "unix-like" operating system originally
designed to highlight the capablities of the 6809 microprocessor and is
now also available for the 68000.  OS9 features things like a "shell", pipes,
i/o redirection, user installable device drivers, memory management for
systems with several megabytes of memory using a 6809 (!), a tree structured
filesystem, etc.  

I've only just started using it, but I'm sure the people on net.micro.6809
can tell you much more (and in greater detail) than I.
