Are there any non-tandy OS-9 people out there, or have they all been scared
off?

If there are, I have a few questions about the hardware requirements of 
OS-9 68k.  My thesis involves building a 68020 based, single board computer
that will be used by a class here at Clemson University.  My advisor wants to
eventually port OS-9 68k to it; if I have time, I'll be the one doing the port.
We'll be getting some information from Microware (I think that's the name),
but in the mean time, I have a few questions.  Does OS-9 68k require an MMU?
What does it need in the way of timers and interrupts?  Are there any other
hardware dependencies that it has?

Thanks for any help.
