I think that ARM would be LESS safe, given that OS-9 is market as an
embedded OS and ARM is just about the most popular architecture for
embedded purposes. Nitros-9 for x86 would probably be seen as a
harmless nostalgia trip by the folks at Radsys, whereas a Nitros-9 for
ARM would set off alarm bells in an instant.
