On OS9 for the AMIGA --- (a rumored soon-to-be thing)

From study of the Kernel manuals for my machine, I understand that one
could run AMIGA DOS and OS9 concurrently because it is possible to 
for a process to obtain exclusive access to a disk drive. Since the
low-level I/O is done by the Kernel (not by AMIGA DOS), and since
AMIGA DOS is apparently merely a process and suite of library routines
from the Kernel's viewpoint, it seems feasible to have a OS9 "kernel"
be a peer of AMIGA DOS.

Anyone else have any info/comments?
