- krylon 11y agoIt is a little mean, but funny nontheless. One wonders, though, what they would have had to say on MS-DOS...
- ChuckMcM 11y agoIt was a very nice, if under appreciated OS. A number of robot enthusiasts used it in their robots as it was a much more reliable multitasking 8-bit platform OS than MPM was which was around about the same time.
- drudru11 11y agoOS-9 was a great OS. I ran it on a Coco III with 512k and a hard drive that I got surplus from a DEC guy. I learned C on that system.
- davelnewton 11y agoOS-9 was awesome, especially for embedded stuff. As someone mentioned it ended up on the CoCo III eventually, where it'd run rings around IBM PCs of the day.
