Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention - I also sometimes forward comp.sys.68k
to info-68k.

A friend and I both have 68000 systems that use, mostly,
CompuPro IEE-696 hardware. We are running CP/M-68K, which is a
better instantiation than CP/M-80 2.2, but would like to look 
at other possibilities.

OS9/68K has received lots of good reviews but is not available
for the CPro h/w. There is also a UN*X port, I believe by
Dynaport, available. I saw recently, in IEEE Software, that
Pecan had bought out Volition Systems, purveyors of the p-system
for the 68K and others. Does anyone know if the p-sys is
available for CPro h/w and, more likely, if not, how much work
is necessary to accomplish the port?

I know that CDOS 5.0 (by whatever name it is being called this
week) has been/is being ported to run on CPro 80x86 products. Is
anyone aware, and can they speak, of any equivalent effort for
the CPro 68K machine?

Given that the 68K series is orders of magnitude better
architecturaly than the 80x86 machines (NB the preceding is a
completely objective statement!), it sure would be nice to see
more generic 68K s/w, as opposed to vendor-specific s/w,
available to the general/hacking community.
