there is OS/9 for PC then by all means but I'd suspect comparison would
be to unix/linux rather than Dos/win.
While I'd not mind seeing that I have no real 6809 hardware other than
a COCO-II that is sans case. Found it on the side of the road with smashed
case but fully intact and operable.
While 1+ing the question we can add 8bit multitasking for Z80 other than
MP/M to look at.

What I'd like to see is a comparison of OS/2 to say DRI Concurrent386
and Win3.1 or Nt3. I picked the latter two as I know them well. I have
both concurrent386 and OS/warp 3 but never used them. Maybe I'm missing
something and I'd like to have an idea of and how practical their use
would be in the present as part of my PC based supporting systems.
Lets not forget OS/9 for the 6809 , just for a reality check of
multi-tasking.
