We put together what was called the Portland Board, which gave each user a 4 MHz 6502 with 64K of RAM. They run under the OS-65U operating system. Actually, we still sell a few now and again. We supplied them to OSI to sell, and after they went away, we carried the line. This kind of developed after my company, Generic Computer Products, which made a memory/disk controller/ real-time-clock/parallel printer port board and a graphics board based on the TI-9918 chip. I thought the OSI was a pretty neat machine. I wrote an assembly-language development system for it called Generos (Generic Operating System), which was kind of like DEC RT-11. It had a disk-based relocating assembler, and a full implementation of TECO as the main text editor! Ahh, those were the good old days... Bob Ankeney ...!tektronix!bob@reed.edu
