Aucbvax.2681 fa.info-micro utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!ihuxl!jej Fri Aug 14 06:03:57 1981 OS-9 I wonder whether those folks who have run/are trying to run Microware's OS-9 could comment on their experiences? I am seriously considering buying either Logical's or ADS's (leaning toward Logical Devices) IE3 S-100 6809 board and running OS-9 on it, being of the philosophy that, if CP/M has as its sole virtue existing software (like Obscenity System/370), then that software is of two flavors: written in a HLL and written in machine language. If it's of the first kind, then I can just as well use it under OS-9, and if it's of the latter kind, then I don't care about it anyway, CP/M being exclusively, to my knowledge, a system running on 8080-and- descendants (***ecch***). (Thanks to Caliph Omar, burner of the Alexandrian library, for the canonical dichotomy of the above kind.) (Why OS-9, you ask? Well, I still can't afford a 68000, FLEX is as disgusting as CP/M, and UniFLEX assumes that everybody wants to buy EVERYTHING at once.) Reply to me if you wish, but I think info-micro readers in general would be interested.
