-
- The first place to start would be Microware:
-
- "The OS-9 Catalog" (free) good overview of the system
- "The OS-9000 Catalog" (free)
- "The OS-9 Sourcebook" (extra cost - reference of systems & applications)
- "List of OS-9 OEM Licensees" (good ref for authors covering OS9)
- "Pipelines" (quarterly newsletter)
-
- Much of the info in the "Catalogs" can also be found in downloadable text
- form on CompuServe ("go msc" or "go microware").
-
- As for books, there've been about half a dozen, but most dealt with OS9/6809.
- The only totally OS9/68K book so far is:
-
- "OS-9 Insights (Advanced programmer's guide to OS9/68K)", by Dibble,
- published by Microware, 1988. 340+ pages.
-
- I've heard of (but never bought) this book:
-
- "16- and 32- Bit Microcomputer Interfacing", by Lipovski. ISBN 0-13-812074-9
- or TK7887.5.L55, 1990 (contains chapter on writing OS-9 drivers).
-
- There's also supposed to be some hardcore OSK (OS9/68K) programmer books
- coming from a company in the UK, but I can't seem to find my notes on them.
- Anyone have more info?
-
- A couple of magazine articles which you might have library access to include:
-
- Doctor Dobbs Journal : Jan 1987 : "The OS-9 (68K) Operating System"
- BYTE : Sep 1990 : "From Tiny Kernels..." (OS9/OS9000)
-
- Also, there are the OS-9 newsletters and magazines mentioned in the FAQ,
- which often have technical info and application notes.
