Given that NitrOS-9 is written almost entirely in 6809/6309 assembly
language, any PC native version would have to be either completely
rewritten or would have to be running on essentially a bare-metal Coco
emulator, which would basically entail writing an OS from scratch in
and of itself. Something like that would be a fun programming project
and would certainly be possible, but would be well outside the scope
of the project as it current.
