Summary: OS-9 Source Code


     Source code is available.  Microware has a sort of graded cost
system.  If Kim Kempf is around, you should send him mail (I can't
recall the full Usenet address).  Essentially, the more actual source
code you get, the more you pay.  You really shouldn't need much source
though.  The bare minimum port is a couple of drivers and a clock.
For memory management it's more difficult and (I can just imagine
the arguments this next comment is going to touch off :-) not
really that advantageous for a single (actual) user system.

     Keep in mind that OS-9 object code is written position independant
and fully relocatable.  We mix and match modules freely without
hardware MMU's.

Cheers! -- Jim O.
