From: Drew Anderson <Drew.Anderson@CMU-CS-C.ARPA> I talked to Microware about their package for bringing up OS-9 on the 68000. The Vax version was quoted at $2500. They suggested buying the Hazelwood system. I personally have an SS-50 system, and Hazelwood is having a "show sale" on several packages. It turns out that I can get a new CPU board, Disk controller, and operating system for only $995! From there, I could port it to another 68000 if I wanted. That is a far better deal than the Microware package. (A port would require appropriate liscensing, I assume.) It should be interesting. -------
