Hmmm... OS9 was an operating system that ran on Motorola 6809 processors.  I 
used to run it on a Coco III.  The echo seems to have dropped off the backbone. 
 Microware also had a variant that ran on 680x0 processors called OS-9000 (as 
far as I recall).

At one point, there was a rumour that Microware was suing Apple over their use 
of the OS9 name.  Never did hear anything more about the case.

       David
