More accurately, nobody ever licensed this software in the U.S.  In Japan,
Fujitsu used OS-9/Net on their 6809-based FM-11 computers.  The hardware
was ARCNET based and the software was designed to take advantage of ARCNET's
capabilities.  This was all back in 1983-84 when the 6809 was king and network
hardware was expensive.
