Summary: I called them yesterday


     I called them yesterday and OS-9 68K isn't ready yet.  It is due this

month, so it isn't late.  Price and distribution have yet to bet settled.
The port is being done by an independant software house.

     The board doesn't fit in a standard IBM PC case, but *will* fit a
case for Apple II clone boards (IBM style).  It will also fit the Taiwan
wide Apple II cases with the numerical keypad, and uses Apple II keyboards.
They have plans for an '020 upgrade board.  If they get their OS-9
working, I may just buy this one myself.  I wish it had multiple RS-232's
so I could make use of the multi-user capability, but heck, it sounds
pretty good overall.  The Canadian price is the US price + exchange,
so it's about 1.37 * US price right now.

                                     Cheers! -- Jim O.
