OS-9 on the Color Computer is way cool, the problems I had were:

1.  It wasn't the native OS, so there was less OS9 software than 
    ShackDos software (of which there was little).

2.  ShackDos software wouldn't run under OS9.  Grr.

On the other hand, I learned a lot about multitasking on that system...
