I need a volunteer to help test os9 running under OSX

[ted bonkenburg]

Since there are a few people interested, I just want to give a quick 
status update.  I managed to test on my friend's machine this afternoon 
and it mostly worked.  There was one issue that made me glad I waited 
to test it somewhere else, but for the most part it worked.  Still, I 
wanted to get the cdrom stuff right and a few other things fixed up.  I 
spent most of the evening today doing that and will run it through 
another test tomorrow.  If all goes well then I hope to put it up on a 
website and mail this list so that all those who are interested can try 
it out and hopefully give me feedback :-)

If I don't post it tomorrow evening then I'll try to send another mail 
to keep people updated.  Thanks again.

Btw- Has anyone seen Samuel on this list?  I haven't seen a posting 
from him in a long time.  Anyway, I'd like to compliment him on the MOL 
code base.  It is very well and professionally done, which will be 
quite helpful if I manage to get in deeper...
