Rumor has it that davis may have mentioned these words:
Ontopically:
.... When I was at intel and radisys...
The same Radisys that bought out MicroWare (and subsequently, OS-9)?
/me rubs hands greedily and says "Eeeeeeexcellent!" ;-)
Still have any contacts there? I've been running OS-9 for a over a couple
of decades now, loving every minute of it. I've always had one burning
question, tho: Was Basic09 ported to the newer platforms as well, and was
it "improved" at all, or is it basically the same it always was?
For the 6809 platform, there's a cleanroom freeware port of it called
"NitrOS-9" and can be seen here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nitros9/
Way too many questions, so little time. But my lust for OS-9 goes *very
deep.* ;-)
Offtopically:
I have a Fujitsu-built Crusoe laptop - it's made me happy for over 4 years
that I didn't buy a Sony.
Oddtopically:
Anyone know what would be the chance of getting OS-9 running on said
laptop? It's x86 on the outside, VLIW on the inside, but I have no idea if
OS-9 would come anywhere close to supporting the hardware
(video/lcd/ethernet/etc.) Answers to this offlist, please.
