Hi Vic!

If you're who I think you are, I had meant to send you some info for your
"orphaned" and "niche" machines article.  Is it still planned?

The July 1989 Online issue had a story about this forum and the OS-9 operating
system (which runs on many machines)... but I think an update is needed.

Especially as, since then, one of the machines which runs it (the Tandy CoCo)
has been discontinued.  Didn't matter much to the owners tho :-)   I think
there's more OS-9 users on it now, than there were before the CoCo was
orphaned!

In addition, some neat new 68K machines have been built, designed in part from
massive OS-9 user discussions held here.  Some of that's still in the libs, I
think (15?).

Anyway, just wanted to say "hello and welcome aboard".  Ask away... we'll all
do our best to answer any Q's you have.   You can also "GO MSC" to check out
Microware's display area... has much OS-9 info.  cheers - kevin
