We are using OS/9 on a Matrix MD-320 CPU system. We actually have a
second MD-320 with the probe debugger on it. We are trying to set up a
multiprocessing system, perhaps even increasing the number of
processors. 

Is there anyone out there who is using OS/9 with multiple CPUs? HAve you
added extensive software to do this? Is OS/9 running on all the CPUs or
is only one CPU running the OS and the others just executing modules?

Also, for those folks using OS/9, is there a way to speed up the
compiler? Now it takes a horribly long amount of time (Compared to an
equivalent compiler on the PC or Mac) even forthe smallest programs.
