Subject: Plan9 on virtual machine in Mac os

Mostly a lurker so far, but wanted to try the actual system rather than plan9port.  But sometimes getting actual hardware up an running is a steep first step :-)

Does anyone know of a virtual machine running on current Mac OS that hosts plan9?  Preferably one that isn’t too difficult to set up….

Also, I’m a little unclear on what the advantages/disadvantages of the various forks of plan9 are best on, their audience, etc. And it seems somewhat difficult to determine where to find the code for the different forks. Most likely I’m just not paying attention….

I do have a pi 4 but probably not the one with the wall wart fix. Is Mr. Miller’s code all in one place? Where is it publicly available?

Is there some repository for add-on file systems ala 9P2000 in one place. If not the actual code, perhaps pointers to the actual repositories.

Sorry if it appears that I’m not digging in to find this information myself, but I can’t seem to find the end of the string to pull…

Thanks in advance.

Lurker Mark
