    Thanks, Lyle.  Just for my own personal interest
I'd love to know.

   But if it's going to become a larger project, then a lot will depend on
 the current copyright status of OS/9.  Do you know anything about the
 current owners? 
IIRC, OS-9 was developed by Microware and Microware is now owned by RadiSys:
http://www.radisys.com/oem_products/microware_OS-9.cfm

I'm not sure how they would "view" their old versions for the 680x chips - 
which appear to be no longer supported...

BTW: Note that it's "OS-9" and NOT "OS/9" - I had forgotton that
little 
tidbit.

Cheers,
Lyle

    I know there was at one time an OS/9 for the
6809 - does anybody
 know the status of that today?  Is there other software for the 6809
 floating around these days? 
 Some years ago, I gave a buddy of mine in the east coast two 6809 systems
 running OS/9. I gave him complete sets of the OS/9 operating system,
 associated software, manuals, spare parts, etc.

 I've sent him an email - and will let you know if he still has it and if I
 can
 get copies of the software/manuals made.

 Cheers,
 Lyle
