Mike,
TSC changed its name to UniFlex fairly recently. They actually sell pretty well
nowadays, and their real-time response is quite good, certainly adequate for
our targets.
Flex was the OS that Tandy was considering along with OS-9 for the 6809.
Flex lost out because they were -- at that time -- unwilling to do the port to
the Color Computer. I guess they learn lessons!
BTW, I am still big on Microware. They are busy because they have a very fine
product.
And I am negotiating (on the side) a deal with a DC beltway bandit to sell LOTS
of copies of OS-9 and OS-9000 in a telemetry system that integrates an AMD29K,
68030,a dn 80386!
Weird setup, but each chip is actually being used for what it does best.
Paul
