it doesn't work on 64-bit only linux or freebsd, and it can't work at all on windows due to some page size issue, so i haven't had an os to run it on for many years. that might not be quite true, i probably had multilib linux at some points, but i didn't need it when i ran plan 9 native on my laptops. i have ergonomic issues which are getting worse with age, and so i stopped using laptops.
