Hi Joel,

The problem with the Atari port of OS-9 is that it relies heavily on the 
Atari ROM-based GEMDOS environment, which is different from the Coco OS-9, 
which uses none of the ROM code.

To "separate" the OS-9 part from the GEMDOS part would, I think, be a major 
undertaking.

As far as I know, OS-9/68K was written in C, so reverse engineering it would 
be painful.
