[Coco] origins of OS-9

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

I seem to remember that there was something before OS-9 for the 6800.

FLEX had been in existence for the 6800 for some time and perhaps something 
else.

I think that I have the 68 micro journals starting just before OS-9 was 
announced in an ad.

Look in the scanned copies in the Archive.

Have these issues been looked at by anyone?
