From: Drew Anderson <Drew.Anderson@CMU-CS-C.ARPA> The Microware guy that I talked to was Andy Ball. Their phone is (515) 224-1929. He sent me a price sheet which says: Level 1 $300 (software memory management) Level 2 $500 (hardware memory management) These include assembler, editor, linker and some 50 other utilities and manuals. These must be ordered from the manufacturer of the system that built you hardware. BASIC09 is $300; C, Pascal, and Fortran 77 are $400. They also have these software PortPaks for the 68000. You buy one of them and cross compile things for your own system. The price depends on your operating system. If you are already running OS9 on something, the price is (mostly) $1500. Other machines are in the $2500 range. For that money, you get one OS9 system (with C compiler) and a way to bring it up on your system (which you get a C cross compiler for.) I imagine that that has much to do with the price differences between the two types of PortPaks. -------
