Doesn't the Pet use a 6502? Last I heard, OS/9 was only <for the Motorola 6809 and 68000. Right - the Pet had a 6502. The Super-Pet added a 6809 as an I/O processor (which just tells you that some people should _not_ be allowed to design hardware). The OS/9 ran on that. And a CoCo running OS/9 is still my second-choice home computer, right behind the Amiga 1000. All the good software features, and a better Unix-alike at the syscall level. Just not as much hardware. But the new versions let you use a 6829 to get 256K (or some such) in it. <mike -- How many times do you have to fall Mike Meyer While people stand there gawking? mwm@berkeley.edu How many times do you have to fall ucbvax!mwm Before you end up walking? mwm@ucbjade.BITNET
