I have been using Russ Cox's 9vx on OS/X Mavericks
with considerable success. The only issue being that I need to connect a
Logitech 3 button mouse via a Unifying RF dongle (BlueTooth mice don't work
for me).
Although 9vx is somewhat minimal, I download sources as I require them
from 9p.io
website .
Richard Millers Plan9 port
works fine for me on an older RPi - B (?) using the same mouse that I use
with MBP.
Personally I find the 9vx environment more to my liking as I can edit code
with vim, use Finder, etc using OS/X concurrently with Plan9 -- yes, I know
that is heretical to die-hard Plan9 folks, but I'm a *nix guy foremost and
a Plan9 newbie.
Pardon the confusion over which model RPi I am using. I have several from
different releases and I get confused as to which one I am using at any
given time. Swapping SDHC cards, etc
