    By the way OS-9 is written with a dash instead of a slash. But the real reason I'm commenting is OS-9 is definitely one of my most favorite operating systems. It has a much larger range of machines it runs on than the Tandy CoCo. It's still in use today in embedded systems, etc. Multitasking, real-time, multi-user, reentrant code, etc. Quite a decent OS. I learned a lot playing with it.

    By the way, for those that don't know, this isn't the mac os 9. This was designed back in the 80's and ran on 6809 chips. And still runs today.

    OS-9

    Right you are. Sorry about the MacSlash.

    The command "DOS" was added to Disk Extended Color Basic specifically to be able to boot OS-9.
