I've just read where Microware's OS-9 was ported to the Mac!

Yes, in the early 1990s even Dr. Keil in West-Germany sold this, or tried to sell this. But I never seen any copy so I think it wasn't a real success.

They offered this OS-9 mainly for the Mac LCs, SE and SE/30.

If you're interested in running OS-9/68k on a cheap machine get an Atari ST. The OS-9 port from Cumana is available in the web. Or get a VMEbus machine best with a Motorola MVME CPU, i.e. MVME147 with 68030, MVME167 with 68040 or MVME177 with 68060. This is my solution :-)
