I'm not sure I'd call OS-9 a 'structured
program loader'. It does most of
what I'd expect a real OS to do :-) And it runs on 8 bit machines.
This reminds me of a question I never got answered, since I'm poor with
6809 stuff. Has OS-9 been ported to a 6502-based architecture? I wouldn't
expect binary compatibility, of course, but since you always hear OS-9
in connection with CoCos and such, you'd think the CoCo had a monopoly on it.
