If you want an os thats pretty well developed, look into nitros9, 
which is intended to take advantage of the 6309's new commands, and 
is a thouroughly bugfixed and optimized (about 2x faster) version of 
os9, which is itself a pretty versatile mini-unix.  The original is 
pretty much abandoned by MicroWare, who has turned into Radesys in 
the stock wars, so this is freely downloadable today.  A google 
search on 'nitros9' should spit out the servers address.  I had a 
small hand in its initial developement a decade plus ago now.  You 
can also find many replacement utilities & bits and pieces of must 
have stuff on <http://os9archive.rtsi.com>
