Thanks, that gave a good impression of SymbOS which is boggling my mind a bit.

  Yeah, I was totally flabbergasted.. Seeing an old rusty MSX of almost 40 years old pulling off multitasking. They had quite a few apps and games (even the z80 doom haha). I talked to one of the members for a while. So basically they use none of the BIOS, so it's purely Z80, which makes it super portable. They do have different drivers for different videocards. So some configurations work faster than others. I saw a stock MSX and one with some videocard, but I can't remember exactly. The stock one was slow with redrawing at times, but the other one was very smooth.

    I was very regretful that my first (Nascom 2) didn’t leverage interrupts more. I hated that loading/saving to tape were simultaneously insanely slow and blocking operations. The slowness would have been easier to stomach if I could do something else while waiting. It wasn’t a technical problem. I had seen concurrent CP/M in action and that was amazing.
