Scott,
A couple of years ago, the Motorola sales rep assured me os9 would run on the
MVME333. Knowing he had been less than totally honest at times and that os9
required a minimum of support chips, I neither believed or disbelieved him.
Motorola put some kind of pressure on Microware and about a month or so later,
Denny Bridal (our Microware sales rep and a good man) showed up on my doorstep
with roms for the MVME333. That is probably the port that you did. We would
have liked to have it, but somehow ended up with a generic Portpak which we
ported. Doing it ourselves may have cost us about a month of development time
that we did not have. Are you with Microware? In Des Moines? (Myself and
another guy on the project have both been out there).
