? The pricing of MW's OS-9/68K has always been on the exorbitant side.
Especially after they withdrew their "personal" version OS-9.  We, CoCo3
owners, really got it good with the OS-9/6809 for only $80.  Granted, after
Multi-Vue and the Dev. Pak are added the price breaks the $200 mark, but still
you could get a lot done without the add-ons.  And at $230, as I recall, it was
still a good deal compared to the 68K versions.

But you're right, I think MW missed a great opportunity by not catering to the
ST and Amiga market.  Of course, we seem to be only one side of the story based
on the previous internet messages.
   It would be interesting to hear both sides.
