I wanted to post this message to thank you for this information. I was also going to ask how much, but when I read the bottom of your message, I noticed it said source is in the U.K and costs 99 pounds. I take this to mean that it has to be ordered from Britain/Europe and it costs $99 English Pounds?

It started out in life on the 6809, moved to the 68xxx family, and in a more portable version exists on the 80x86 (x >= 3) and the PowerPC. Let's see...Microware sells (or sold; I'm not sure about current availability) OS-9 for the Atari ST, and an English company called Cumana Ltd. sells (or sold) a port of OS-9 for the ST as well. --- RiBBS v2.11 (Beta) * Origin: Ocean Beach BBS 619-224-4878 MM1 TECH moderator (1:202/745) Public Message Message # 212 *MM1 TECH Echo* To : Steve Goldfein From : Charles Connolly Subject : OS9 for the Atari ST Date : 95/03/28 11:25:00 I don't know the answer to most of your questions except that 1. - The Price Is In Pounds Not U.S. Dollars so will varry with the exchange rate. But 99 Pounds was aprox. is aproximaa couple of months ago, any Bank will be able to give you the exact rate.ely $160 I don't think that you can run ATARI TOS programs under OS-9/68K However If K-Windows gets ported to the ATARI you will be able to run MOST MM/1 compatable programs and be able to easly port most COCO Basic09 programs that you have the code for. Most TEXT only applications will run unaltered. I do not have ATARI OSK however 2 people In the local computer club I am a member of do have it on there systems they will be able to tell you If you need to repartition your hard disk or not, return me a Message with your complete FIDO NET address and I will see If either Mike or Paul would like to give you more details. Also I am not sure If they have Cummen OSK or another one so ask, from what I have heared Cummen OSK is the best deal. But If money is no Object the MACINTOSH version of OSK will run allmost all standatd Mac Apps under it but it costs $1200 U.S. - Charles. --- GEcho 1.11+/RA 2.02+ * Origin: House of Fire BBS - Toronto - (416)601-0085 - v.32bis (1:250/436) Public Message (Rec) Message # 213 *MM1 TECH Echo* To : Warren Hrach From : Charles Connolly Subject : OS9 for the Atari ST Date : 95/03/28 11:34:00 The Information came from an Article called Nine Flavors of OS-9 by F.G.

Additionally what have you to hide ! There is nothing to hide. However, it is not always a good idea (from a sales point of view) to let your potential customers know what you are up to until it's ready for sale.
