Summary: Not Quite, but ...


     I don't know of a re-port of the CoCo OS-9 to an SS-50 system
but Sardis Technologies, 2261 E. 11th Ave. Vancouver, B.C.,
Canada, V5N 1Z7 (604) 255-4485 (whew!) has a "conversion package"
to use the CoCo OS-9 on their small 6809 (2 Eurocard -- non-VME)
system.  The Conversion package is $49.00 (package deals with
the boards).  You still have to buy the Shack's OS-9 (it was on
sale a month or 2 ago for $70.00 Cdn).

     You can do your own port if you feel like it.  There have
been postings on the Portapack if you need it.  It's mainly a
question of writing the drives (or matching the harware?--possible).
There're also some people who have ported it to the Dragon computer
(much easier since it's mainly the same chipset except for a
serial chip based RS-232).

                                   Cheers! -- Jim O.

(Forgot to say:  Nothing special about CoCo version except 32 column
output orientation for most of the modules.)
