<<Back in the mists of time - in March 1986 to be exact - there was a little embedded
software company in Des Moines called Microware. The founder, Ken Kaplan, thought
he had hit paydirt when he heard that Philips had chosen his OS/9 real-time multitasking
operating system as the heart of its new CD-i consumer device.>>

I used a version of OS/9 in the 1979-80 time frame. It was very quick at task switching, processing interrupts, and doing those things that make it a real-time OS.
