Early OS-9 History, select content from 68 Micro Journal

 

March 1981

Microware makes big changes to their ads this month. One full page each for OS-9 Level one and BASIC09. They specifically mention time sharing on Level 1, which contradicts early ads stating this was a Level 2 feature.


June - July 1981

Same ads as previous month. Smoke Signal Broadcasting mentions OS-9 compatiblity for their systems.


August 1981

Same Microware ads. New Dataman product mentions OS-9 support coming soon. A trade show report from the "Nation Computer Conference" in Chicago mentions continued interest in OS-9, with Ken Kaplan appearing in the GIMIX booth, and that Smoke Signals' new series of systems will use OS-9 as the standard operating system.

"Dataman", a new database product from Frank Hogg, mentions OS-9 support "coming soon".
