Porting OS-9 to the Foenix F256 with Boisy Pitre

[@derekchristenson5711]

Wow, very cool! I've used OS-9 on my CoCo3 (with 6309 and 512K), and seeing it ported to a new-retro system is pretty neat. 🙂

Just getting to this video! Nice job Boisy; I could tell there was lots of interest and hopefully a ground swell of interested parties for the K2. NitrOS-9 is indeed the OS that every piece of hardware dreams about; I'm glad that we have it on the Foenix platform. Thank you for this body of work.

Because of the Unix-like OS-9 this amounts to the coolest retro-inspired computer out there for those that are computer science nerds and love the idea of tinkering with computers of this ilk. It would be like stepping back to a PDP-11 in the mid to late 70s running early Unix, but with graphics programming fun to boot (in the next hardware generation). Kudos!

Proud to have this vid be the first linked youtube load-up on my phone. Been the one for 5 days. Gonna switch it soon.

I used OS-9 several years ago in my Dragon 64 with dual 5 1/4 floppy drive. I used to practice a pseudo multiuser environment, including WordPerfect v4.2, it was unique OS in comparison to my friends were basic to load,... only games in their Spectrums.
