    We are running OS9 v2.9 on a VCPU68040 (OR computer). The hardware is
    more than 20 years old. Has somebody heard of a possible
    virtualization of OS9 under Linux?

    This would be very helpful.

    I know OS-9 has been run under VBOX or one of the other VM's on 386 HW. I would have to look at the sources and see what I can find. No real reason
    why it won't work.

    Not really a virtual machine but probably sufficient: https://sourceforge.net/projects/os9exec/

    Another idea:

    OS-9/68k (OSK) running on FAME 68k emulator core
