Summary: Adding OS-9 to Commodores


     I've made the following suggestion before to C64 users and IBM-PC
users, who have ignored it, but what the heck?

     If you want to add a 6809 or even a 68000 to a Commodore 64, then
why not just buy a Single board OS-9 system and use the Commodore as
a terminal.  By integrating the software properly you may be able to
accomplish a lot.

     Sardis Technologies sells bare-board single/multiboard 6809
computers capable of using the Color Computer version of OS-9.  There
are *many* OS-9 68K technology single board computers.  Although the
Frank Hogg systems look really good for business applications, why
not look at the Emerald 68000 OS-9 board for $600.00 (I'm sure the
software is extra).

     For C-64 owners, this approach also makes fast disks a possibility.
