Ethernet hardware.

The OS-9 KA9Q is very old, based off an even older DOS port.  
<Shrug> getting it to talk to a Linux machine's SLIP driver is on my
"to do" list, and has been there for about five years. :-(  

For the Contiki port, we need an ANSI C compiler and libc.  We have
libc under OS9, but no real ANSI compiler.  For DECB we have GCC09 but
(last I heard) no real libc.  And anyway, Contiki wants ethernet.

Hum.  Before I get flamed too much, I should point out that I haven't
been keeping up with the contiki/gcc09/ethernet projects, so my
information may be out of date.
