Bill, Yessir, there's an OS-9 forum… I'm one of the sysops. (Actually, I used to keep "[OS9]" in my online name here, but dropped it after I stopped being accidentally mistook for an Amigaforum sysop. I guess the real ones are all too well known nowadays!). Yah, you can get OS-9 for the Mac, ST, Amiga and bunches of other 68K systems (even a derivative for PCs now). There are now new versions for all Amiga models (you can even use process memory protection in MMU-equipped systems). But the port still isn't readily available. When it is, I'll put the [OS9] back in my name here <grin>. They're finally working out some retail deals now. This will be good news, as I've constantly gotten internet messages from government and college labs who *wanted* to choose Amigas, but couldn't because their specs also called for using OS-9… even tho we thought the Amiga OS would work fine. regards – kevin
