I've read that there was a port of OS-9 (Unix like OS from Microware) to the Amiga - does any one know where I could get a copy? Thanks in advance.

Hey, that's normal that price for the licence. This is a professionnal OS made for high industrials needs. If you want it cheaper, take a Philips/Magnavox CDi and use the joystick port, it's just a Serial port with RX/TX  :-)

Thanks for all the feedback...I was hoping that was not the answer. I have used this OS on the Color Computer and was hoping I could using on the Amiga. Well I guess we will never see it as the OS was sold some time ago to another company. Still I wish I could get it - I know it would run great on an Amiga.
