David, I don't own a 68K system, but rather, a Tandy Color Computer 3
running OS-9 Level 2.  The only reading material out is either
"The Rainbow Guide to OS-9", by Dale Puckett and Peter Dibble.  A lot of
what's explained is very relavent to 68K, since some of the commands
in Level 1/2, are available for 68K OS-9, although with some differences.

The only OS-9 products out are for the Tandy Color Computer, and I don'T
think that there's a heckuva lot available for the 68K world yet.  The
Atari ST is the only low cost micro with a 68K chip that has a version
of OS-9 68K for it.  I've checked Byte magazine, but they don't have
any ads for OS-9 products.  UNIX world might, and I don't think the
Computer Shopper even has ads for ANY OS-9 engines.  Which is a shame,
because I feel that OS-9 is far superior to MS-DOS and OS/2.
Good luck on finding the material you need!
