DRDOS was my go-to over DOS. I liked OS2 over Windows too. I’m sure IBM was told to step-aside in the OS arena, but I don’t know or recall the whole-real story? But I lived it & used both.
DRDOS was much better; my go-to also. I also used Warp, still have that but don't use it any longer. Way better than windows. Only reason I had windows was to program stuff that was in that garbage.
Since I was mainly control systems of the military variety, I used a thing known as OS-9 and OS-9-68k. 9 was built for the 6809E Motorola and was PIC/PID; the intel cpus couldn't do that. 9-68k was for the 68000 series. OS-9 was basically a UNIX subset with its own superset commands for controls. It was a beautiful OS.
Absolutely!! Did a lot of work for outfits like Sandia, Ford Aerospace, Lockheed and the like. Very nice tech. Too bad the public can't have some of that too.
Yeah, the applications were pretty specific tho. I was with Lockheed and again it was enemy target acquisition basically integrating different sensor systems to an ISR platform.

Nice...am familiar ?? Much of my computing experience was in target acquisition & resolution for intel. Amazing applications.
