Greeting-
     I just want to know when Microware started to care about its 6809
products again.  When I try to talk to them at trade shows or on the phone
about the 6809 products they as a rule try to stear me to a 68k system
running OSk.  I would probably go for it, but the cost of the compilers are
out of sight!   $750 to $1000 for a C compiler depending on which vendor of
course is a bit much if you ask me.  Is os9 the number one os in japan
because of more competitave pricing?   If you folks are supporting OS9-6809
in a real way why can't I get any ethernet software for it.  When I
inquired about ethernet I was told "sorry only 68K"
     Sometimes I think Microware can't even remember what a 6809 is.
