[Coco] Interviewing the 6809 Engineer

[Arthur Flexser]

Another question I have is to what extent, if any, Mr. Ritter (?) has had
any awareness of developments regarding the CoCo world, presumably (I would
imagine) the largest community of 6809 developers.  Does he have any
opinions regarding OS-9/NitrOS-9?  Was this the sort of operating system he
envisioned as taking full advantage of the the capabilities built into the
6809?
