CP/M is surprisingly alive for something so old and

seeing some activity, e.g. CPMish, but I don't think anyone would
claim it has much of a future. CCP/M is dead although I think Toshiba
just about supports 4680 and 4690.
I have to admit, this one surprises me.
I'm struggling to think of anything else. There
are things but they're
even more niche than say Haiku. Redox OS? Genode? HelenOS?
OpenVMS 9.2 will run on x86, as does the 9.1FT that?s currently out. I believe they?ve
even had it running on an Atom-based board.
z/OS runs on IBM Mainframes, there is also ?IBM i?, which was previously called OS/400.
Last I checked, GCOS-8 is still running, but with Itanium end-of-life, I?m not sure what
on. It?s been a niche market for decades. I?d argue that it was a serious niche when I
was using it in the early 90?s.
