     Until a few years ago, a friend and I were involved in multi-processing
OSI's.  We put together what was called the Portland Board, which gave each
user a 4 MHz 6502 with 64K of RAM.  They run under the OS-65U operating system.
Actually, we still sell a few now and again.  We supplied them to OSI to sell,
and after they went away, we carried the line.  This kind of developed after
my company, Generic Computer Products, which made a memory/disk controller/
real-time-clock/parallel printer port board and a graphics board based on
the TI-9918 chip.  I thought the OSI was a pretty neat machine.  I wrote an
assembly-language development system for it called Generos (Generic Operating
System), which was kind of like DEC RT-11.  It had a disk-based relocating
assembler, and a full implementation of TECO as the main text editor!  Ahh,
those were the good old days...
