Much traffic has been generated lately about possible availability
of Microware's OS-9 operating system on the Commodore Amiga and/or 
the Atari ST.  While I have looked over recent magazines for 
references, it isn't clear to me what machines are currently
available running the 68K version of this O.S., or what software
is available for it.  Note I am interested specifically in 68000
software for OS-9; I have seen many packages offered for the 6809
version.  Ready availability of 'useful' software would likely
determine whether the porting efforts would be worthwhile.

Could someone with better background on this enlighten us as to 
current vendors' offerings under OS-9/68K?  Is there a readily-
accessible source for public domain routines?  If traffic warrants,
I will summarize to the net.  Thanks in advance.
