Sounds familiar. Didn't they also write DOS for
the Apple ][? I've
heard the names before (Sheperdson and OSS) but can't quite place what
products I associate with them. I know there was a company that
developed primarily for the Atari but also did Apple DOS. I have
their website linked from the VCF links page but am too lazy to go
looking.
Yes, they wrote the original DOS for the Apple II. Then went on to
do Atari BASIC and Atari DOS and many other pieces of software
for Atari. I also have a copy of CP/A+ which is an Apple II OS they
wrote which is very similar to their OS/A+ for the Atari. I've always
had a thing for collecting odd-ball operating systems.
