I recently got an add for an operating system for 386s called Vmos/3.
This is NOT VM/386 or PCMOS/386, although it may have been intentional
that people would get them confused.  It is sold by StarPath Systems Inc,
4700 So. Hagadorn Rd., East Lansing, Michagan 48823.  (1-800-456-8667 or
517-332-1137).  The introductory price is $99 until 7/31/89, and has a
30 day money back guarantee.

Anyway, it is a multitasking OS for 386 machines.  It supports MS-DOS and
PC-DOS 3.1 and above.  It runs in 1Mbyte.  It has automatic disk cacheing,
EMS support, supports GEM Desktop and MS Windows, priorities from 20 to 50,
task protection using virtual 8086s, mouse support, virtual memory, and
demand paging.

It currently supports only one user, but a multiuser option will be available.

It sounds pretty good to me, especially for only $99.  Has anyone tried it
or heard anything about it?
