In the January '84 issue of MiniMicro Systems, in a special report on micro
OS's they have listed in tabular form 65 different micro operating systems
with "dots" indicating 21 different "features" that could be supported. Of
all 65 can you guess which one supports all 21 features ? The features are
support for networks, multiuser, multitasking, and multi processing, Memory
overlays, swapping, segmentation, and Dynamic Relocation. Peripheral support
consisting of hard disks, cartridge disks, modems, mag tape, paper tape, 
multibuffered I/O and spooling. File system support of sequential files,
contigous files, random files, Isam files, multilevel directories and
password security.

When it came to price/availability S1 came up N/A but they gave a bingo 
card number, wonder if it will work 8 months later. Still, to keep the
subject alive has anyone seen it yet? I know a couple of you got their
glossy adverts. If this product existed it would be quite a force in
the micro business, as it is I think it is quite a farce in the micro 
business. B-) (I wear glasses you see...)
