Are you actually asking about the WPS operating system? I don't know
many instances where anyone tried to use it (except for word
processing). Mostly the folks I know are interested in OS/78 and OS/278.
I believe the differences you'll see in those are down to the slightly
different vintage -- the 8" media are mostly based on an earlier OS/8
than the 5.23" media. Mostly edge cases -- bug fixes and such. I think
that OS/278 may include the background printer daemon. (I know that the
bigger 8/A based version did.)
