To be honest Hardware wise i find the Classic Amiga one of the best documented platforms upto and including ECS.Solar wrote:As for "being alive"... as much as I would love to believe different, an OS with a potential hardware target base that can be expressed in a four-digit number is not "alive" in my book. Amiga was always a hardy community, but you don't even have to compare the situation today with the late 80's / early 90's heydays to realize that Amiga is dead. They just didn't admit as much yet.

QNX! Just a damn good OS, UNIX-ish, GUI (but not default, choice), just plain stable.

Yes.. QNX2 ran on the Unisys ICON computers here in Canada, in the 80's.500mhz wrote:QNX is vintage OS ??? )))
In the same respect, BSD is also vintage, but still maintained.. so my favourite vintage OS would be BSD, and it's non-vintage descendent OpenBSD.
I played with a lot of UNIX-like systems in the 90's, various commercial systems, etc. I really liked the overall design when I first encountered it. Still do.
Of course, there were the dark ages when I was briefly running DOS. But I hold no fond memories.
