Whoa, jeez. I think i'll stick to commenting on CoCo stuff from now on.
I hope you didn't interpret that as a personal attack. I was surprised to learn recently that there's a
SourceForge project
to reverse-engineer, document, and extend OS-9 for the Coco:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cocoos9/
Also a package of command line utilities for Linux and MacOS X to
access OS-9 disk images, and a cross-assembler:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/os9tools/
You might also be supprised that I am co-admin for os9tools and am a
registered developer for os9source!
Also Tim S. is porting OS9Tools to windows.
Also have you seen the osnine project on sourceforge?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/osnine
This project is uses a 6809 emulation core to _run_ 6809 OS-9 modules on
the host operating system. I recently compiled it for Mac OS X and was
able to use OS-9 disasm to disassemble some OS-9 floppy disk drivers.
All without booting up my CoCo!
