     Is this some kind of joke or don't you know what OS's currently
are available for 68K's?  If not, then I'd advise you to take a look
around.  We have *much* better OS's for the 68K than MS-DOS.  Furthermore,
an MS-DOS clone OS wouldn't get you any advantages anyway.  You'd still
not be able to run PC software.  If you don't know any OS's for 68K,
then I suggest looking into OS-9, Uniflex, Unix System V, Concurrent,
Regulus and VRTX for a start.  I think you'll find most of these to
be well supported and capable of outperforming an MS-DOS clone.  OS-9
and Unix System V have the bulk of the off the shelf software available
(and are among the oldest).
