      Just to clear the air, last time I checked, the mac could run:
      
      MacOS: (system/finder/multifinder)
      Unix: at least three different unixes: AUX, MacIdris, one with a card (can't
      	remeber what it was called though), with strong rumors of two more
      	comming out "real soon now" (MacMach by Mt Xinu, Minix)


OS/9 is also ported to the Macintosh platform.

The beauty with OS/9, MacIdris and the MS-DOS Operating system
emulations is that they run under MultiFinder in separate windows... 

So for instance if you want a MacOS base operating system with UNIX
facilities, go for example for MacIdris, if you want a UNIX platform
with capabilities to run Mac binaries, go for A/UX.
