ARGGGHH!! Don't do it... I know OS9 is a minority operating system, but COMPARED TO MS-DOS, it's SOOOOO much better. Especially if it's OS968K running on a 10Mhz or greater 68000! Let's get some discussions going here. I've been into OS9 for about 3 years now, and know it (Level I, 6809) pretty much inside and out. I've got a 64K system with 2 floppies, and 55 Megabytes of harddisk. It's all a homebrew...tacked together from bits and pieces with lots of custom device drivers and such. There ARE OS9'ers out there... I guess they are just too busy USING their systems to bother talking about them! I'm willing to discuss anything OS9 oriented here... So, let's get this newsgroup back on it's feet. Down with MS-DOS!!! Looking forward to hearing from fellow OS9'ers. ----------- Rick Bensene {ihnp4, decvax, allegra, cbosg, ucbvax}!tektronix!tekig4!rickb Phone: Weekdays (503) 627-3559 BBS: (503) 254-0458 300/1200 baud, 24 hours a day US Mail: Tektronix, Inc. - P.O.
