Hi Grant!
Would you be interested in looking into adapting NitrOS-9 6809 L1 v3.2.9 to
run on the 6809 version of your Multicomp project? There is a full Wiki
page with much documentation on NitrOS-9. Here is a link to that Wiki
describing how to build your own copy of the NitrOS-9 Distribution .dsk
files from the source code. All source code for the entire NitrOS-9
Operating System is available for anyone to download. Here is a link
describing how to do just that.

S9
The main page for NitrOS-9 begins here.
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/nitros9/index.php?title=Main_Page
There is several versions. Level 1 which runs entirely in 64KB of
contiguous ram memory the Coco 1 and Coco 2 and Level 2 which uses the
memory management unit in the Coco 3 to be able to utilize up to 2MB of ram!
In addition to NitrOS-9 running on the 6809 microprocessor, NitrOS-9 runs on
the Hitachi 6309 as well which was as I understand it the initial motivation
to update OS-9 in the first place. Once the 6309's extended capabilities
were discovered the Coco Community decided to update OS-9 into what is now
called NitrOS-9. I am not yet able to make such a change to NitrOS-9, but
from what I see on your Project pages on your web site it seems that you
have the skills needed to accomplish such a monumental task. If you have
any questions, just drop a line on the Coco email list. I just dawned on me
that you might already know about NitrOS-9, but I wanted to share it with
you just in case you didn't. Take care my friend.
