- protomyth 15y agoI have heard that although I never used OS-9. I programmed a 6809E on a development board in college after having learned 6502 assembly in high school. Liked it a lot better than the 8086/8 assembly I took the semester afterwords.
- cs702 15y agoI remember OS-9 as being very unixy and much more powerful than the single-user, non-multitasking, 'toy' desktop operating systems of the day -- like, say, CP/M or the Apple II's OS. It meant that one could have a powerful, multi-tasking, multi-user system just by installing OS-9 on a cheap TRS-80 CoCo (typically hooked up to a home TV). It felt like a great deal at the time. As to x86 assembly language, I've had almost no exposure to it, so I can't really judge it.
