- avifreedman 13y agoThere was also the GIMIX, and of course later the Radio Shack Color Computer. A (ugh single 5.25" floppy) SWTPC 6809 system was my first "home" computer system. Flex was a great simple operating system. Anyone remember Frank Hogg for CoCo ports of Flex? FYI, '68 Micro Journal is available online or on CD, though I have a full print set and a few SWTPCs if anyone wants to do a 6809 get together and hackfest at some point.
- jonsen 13y agoFlex was great. I disassembled it all to learn its internals. Then implemented print spooling, RAM-disk, and dual tasking by RAM bank switching, for a 6809 based computer I was co-developing. But then the IBM PC took over the world :/
