        I think that some of the aspects of the "new computer" are a little
confused, but I believe that some of the features you discribe are possible.
        I know that Frank Hogg Labs put out a computer called the TomCat (a
6809/68000) and it runs both OS9 & OSK. It is compatible with the Radio Shack
OS9 for the COCO3 and has a 68000 for OSK. It is upgradeable to a 68030 and can
handle all the RAM you can give it.
        I also know that the OS9/OSK users group has designed their own "dream
Machine" and it is supposed to come to market, in a limited way, very soon, and
the description you give, re the new computer, sounds very much like this
machine.         I haven't been that close to the OS9/OSK community in about a
year, but if you are really interested, I can find out more.

BTW when I sold my OS9 system it was a Radio Shack COCO 3, with 1meg RAM, 60
meg HD, No Halt Controller, etc. Not bad for a little 8bit 6809. I do miss it
now and then, especially when I guru! I can't just go to another window and try
to fix it or at least carry on. OS9, was much more flexable then AMigaDos, but
I still LOVE my AMIGA!
