OmniBasic is/was a commercial endeavor that was pretty close to BASIC09  
(it was originally a basic compiler for OSK), that was cross-platform  
between OSK, DOS, Windows and Linux. They were starting on a native  
Windows only version again (I have a very early beta), but development of  
that seems to have stopped. We use the cross platform version 2.1 here at  
my work, and have since Omni-Basic for DOS 1.43, and early 1.2x versions  
on OS-9000.
    Since work ran on a Coco 3 system for years (1989-~1997) using BASIC09,  
it made porting over to DOS (and then Windows) much easier. There was a  
brief sojourn into OS-9000 on a 386 system, but the peripheral support  
wasn't there.
