Sorry for starting up an OS-9 discussion again but...


I've been trying to examine the feasibility of porting OS-9 to the Amiga
lately.  Veteran OS-9'ers all know that the kernel and file manager portions
of the operating system can normally ported to a new machine with no
alteration.  The only things requiring work are the device drivers for
peripherals and the clock.  I haven't been able to locate any Amiga
developers that I can contact personally about the matter so I wonder if
anybody on the net could tell me if the hardware manual included with
development systems includes enough information to do system-level software
work?

Is there still no word on anybody providing os9 for the Amiga?
