James,

Good points, both -- UNIFlex is actually very MUCH like UNIX now.

Also, MINIX is in demand at universities for pedagogy, as you mention, and to
SELL MINIX is easier than to SELL OS-9.

However, one of the main reasons that other OSes are being considered is that
many purchasers may simply need a choice -- whether or not they actually USE
two or more operating systems on the same computer is up to them.

Personally, I would push OS-9 on them by tailoring it to their needs. OS-9 can
be made to look much more UNIX-y than it does now.

Paul
