OS9 login / shutdown

23 Nov 2005

...
   I've just
come across my first OS9 system, and know   absolutely nothing 
  about OS9 other than that it's vaguely
UNIX-like. Before I   try hooking 
  the hard disk up and seeing if it actually works,
obvious  
 questions follow: 
For some reason I missed the original post -

I used to support high volume page scanners manufactured by Terminal
Data Corp (now owned by Banctec). They had a Motorola based VME system
that ran OS9, and I remember a little about it.

To begin to understand it, consider it to be a CP/M clone with
multi-user extensions. List the files in the system directory and most
of them will be vaguely familiar utilities. I believe "DIR" was the
command. If not, use commands from other common OS's as it was the same
as one of them (LIST maybe?).
