Given the constraints of the systems of that time (speed, memory size,
peripheral support) the line between monitor and "operating system"
might be tricky to specify.

Here's another interesting marginal candidate:

DEC MPS

A three board Omnibus set that contained an Intel 8008, memory and IO
- it had a resident monitor on the KC341 control panel.
