Well, a few days have elapsed with nary a new response, so here's the roster.
If anyone failed to fill out the response form (posted a couple of weeks ago)
please mail me a request. I got some replies via the USPO!

Color Computer Users: 14
Smoke Signal Users: 2
Southwest Technical Products Users: 2
GIMIX Users: 2
Apple II Users: 1
HELIX Users: 0
OTHER's 7
(There were several "no computer owned yet" responses.)


Before I present the roster ... a few common questions:

Q: Microware's UUCP address is:
	{ihnp4}   ...!cbosgd!apr!mcrware!mcrware

Q: net.micro.6809 is not gateway'ed to ARPANET. net.micro is. Please post
  to both.

  OK, I will. Can someone out there elaborate? I'm a net-novice and don't
  know the rationale for the choices in distribution.

Q: Where can I find out more about the Apple II OS9 package?
	Stellation Two
	POB 2342
	Santa Barbara, CA 93120
	(805) 569-3132
	   This package is unusual in that the 6809 co-processor board
	   runs concurrently with the 6502, with the latter doing the
           I/O work for the 6809. To preclude loss of serial I/O & keyboard
           data in the humble Apple, the 6809 performs all disk I/O, keeping
	   the 6502 free for its I/O duties.

Q: Address for "THE" OS9 User's group?
	OS9 USERS GROUP
	POB 7586
	DES MOINES,  IA  50322
    1984 Officers (reelections in progress):
	President:  Dale L. Puckett
	VP:	    Peter Dibble
 	Treasurer:  George Dorner
	
Better Yet... fill out the below form and mail to the above address.
Membership is $25 per year and this includes a subscription to "MOTD",
published about 6 times yearly. The dues also includes ONE FREE DISKETTE
of public domain software. There are about 6-8 other disks at about $3 each.

I hope this info is current... it's from a late issue of MOTD.

Q: Are there other organized groups?
    Per the MOTD newsletter: 
    Seattle WA OS9 Group
    contacts: Dick Dundon (206) 631-4038 or Tim Grovac (206) 630-3091

   I am aware of two dial-up BBS's, both in the midwest. There is
   supposedly one coming up down in the L.A. area.


To join, send this form with $25 to the above address. [As published in MOTD]
