[Coco] OS-9 68K & OS-9 x86

[Bill Pierce]

On OS9 x86...
I actually tried to download their demo for OS9 x86 a few years ago (2008). After clicking the download button I was greeted with a survey of why I wanted to download the software. Then I was told I would be notified for approval. After a couple of days I recieved an email from an Allan R. Batteiger from Radisys. He asked me why I wanted the demo and I explained I was an old time OS9 user from the Tandy Color Computer days and we exchanged a couple of emails discussing the new OS9 and finally he sent me a link to a custom setup demo of OS9x86. I was waiting for my new computer before I set it up and when I finally got the new machine I found out it the software was Intel only and my machine was AMD and it wouldn't install. It's been sitting in my archives since then waiting for me to set up one of my old intel machines. So, maybe, you can aquire demos of OS9 for your operating system/machine if you're nice, polite and say the right things.

BTW... the one time I did attempt to set up the software, there was no mention of "demo" anywhere in the setup. It makes me wonder If Allan sent me a full copy to play with since he and I had had a nice long conversation about old OS9.

Hi,

Actually you would need to contact RTSI if you are in the USA, you know, the 
place where all the Tandy 6809 software is.

None of what you want is there, it would be silly to give away what you are 
selling out the front door for big $$$$.
