Most of the popular 68000 machines have had OS-9 ported to them - the Atari ST (the new models with VME slots should make particularly nice platforms) can be had for well under $1000, we sell OS-9 directly for it. OS-9 for most Macintosh models is available from Ultrascience (708-808-9060), and OS-9 for the Amiga is available from an Australian firm whose number I don't have. A nice feature of OS-9 is that your applications will be binary compatible among all three platforms (or any other 680x0 platform, for that matter). Alternatively, OS-9000 will run on most 386SX/386/486 PC AT-bus platforms, which are now generally available for less than $1500 for complete platforms. -- ############################################################################## # Bill Sheppard -- bills@microware.com -- {uunet,sun}!mcrware!mwca!bill # # Microware Systems Corporation --- OS-9: Seven generations beyond OS/2!! # ######Opinions expressed are my own, though you'd be wise to adopt them!######
