[Coco] OS9

[Kip Koon]

Hi Ed,
I'm building a 68008 68pin PLCC based 2 board set from retrobrewcomputers.org.  What system specifications does the 68K OS-9 require to operate properly to first boot up.  I have not ever had nor used a 68K OS-9 system yet so this is going to be very interesting to me.  Any and all information on OS9 and 68K is most welcome.  Thank you in advance.
