I have. :)

Problem is, unless things have changed a lot, it would be way too 
expensive. OS-9 for the CoCo was relatively inexpensive because Tandy 
bought a license for lots of copies. Without a company like that or a 
nostalgic multimillionaire former CoCo user to make a similar deal, 
OS-9000 (or as it is now called, OS-9 for the x86) would cost a lot per 
copy.
