OS-9 was the first multitasking OS that I had experience
with using. Yep, a RS Color Computer 2 then 3. The
only problem I even found was a boot list order bug
whcih was a problem when certain items in the boot list
fell on certain addresses (I forget whether it was odd
or even) but was easy to fix. Never crashed unless I
tried to make a new boot disk and loused things up. All
this at a time when Billy stated you can't multitask
under 16 megs. Yeah, right.
