> I have a comment. Why not adopt MINIX as that new OS?
I wonder if MINIX on the ST will take on the same role as OS-9 on the
Radio Shack Coco. It appeared there as an exotic, third-party product.
Then Radio Shack adopted it as one of their own products. Now, many
Radio Shack games are released on OS-9 disks.
In the case of MINIX, it has the added advantage of the source code
distribution.
