[Coco] Microware OS-9 for x86

[Bill]

Well, if I can't have the real thing, then an emulator will have to do.
Thanks.

Bill, the following was posted to my query on CoCo3.com by hyperfrog:
"I don't know for OS-9000, but I know how to run OS-9/68k on your PC.
There's 
an emulator (OS9Exec) that allows you to do that. It shares the file system 
with the host OS (Windows, Mac OS X, or Mac OS 9), which is nice. You have 
OS-9 running in a command prompt window. Note that you'll need a copy of 
OS-9/68k. After several hours of struggling, I managed to get it work with 
files from the following disk image :

ftp://maltedmedia.com/coco/OS9_68K/CDi/Microware%20CDi.dsk.zip

Not a real OS, but nice to mess around with.
