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".
