     I'm running the FHL QT-20X which is is FHL's top line board.  It's
The Hazelwood board to be precise and AAA Chicago likely sells the same
board in their own package.  Is it a business system?  Well, any computer
is or isn't depending on how you look at it.  Frank sells his with the
OS-9 professional package that Hazelwood sublicences and adds some of his
own stuff.  In particular, he includes FBU which is a compressing
floppy disk backup utility kit which I've started using, and QCOM which
is a dumb terminal/telecom package supporting Xmodem upload and download
and remote upload and download.  He will also be including a Wordstar
like word processor which is currently being ported to OS-9 version 2.0
and supports termcap entries.

     The package also includes both C and Microware BASIC and a MicroEMACS
editor.  Frank is working on a graphics card and keyboard interface
and I'll likely buy that in the summer.  The graphics will be adequate
for my needs ( 256 * 512 * 16 colors), but not spectacular.

     OS-9 68K version 2.0 is really nice.  It has some new upgrades which
I feel give me all the really important capabilities of Unix systems
with the advantages of a simpler system, which is easier to write for.
It has pretty much lived up to my expectations.

Cheers! -- Jim O.
