Subject: PC-MOS?
I was looking for something else and ran across a two-binder set of
something called "PC-MOS" by The Software Link, circa 1992. I opened
the shrinkwrap on the nstallation manual and the thing looks like
it's a multi-user version of MS-DOS, talking to terminals. I
appear to have a 5 user version.
Anyone familiar with this animal? The version is 4.2.
Cheers,
Chuck
Sounds like the PC-MOS I used in the mid-80's to build a multi-user system using an
IBM PC/AT with an expansion box that had one CGA card per user. The expansion box had
special cables for monitor and keyboard (thick & bulky). This let me run DBase III,
Wordstar 2000, etc. in an office for up to eight stations. Each station appeared to have
the PC/AT to itself. Worked really well.
I wonder if I was using the same PC-MOS but a very early version.
