OS-9 is a family of real-time, process-based, multitasking, multi-user, Unix-like operating systems, developed in the 1980s, originally by Microware Systems Corporation for the Motorola 6809 microprocessor.

It was paired with the OS-9 Operating system, also from Microware and took advantage of several OS-9 features ( e. g., shared memory, module loading and unloading, etc.

In 2001, RadiSys purchased Microware to acquire the Intel IXP-1200 network processor resources.

The company grew in part by acquisitions such as Sonitech International in 1997, part of IBM's Open Computing Platform unit and Texas Micro in 1999, all of S-Link in 2001, and Microware also in 2001.

Around the same time, Microsoft approached Microware for acquisition of the company primarily because it was attracted by CD-RTOS, the CD-i operating system.

The negotiation failed and no deal was made ; Microware decided to remain independent.

Microware initially produced a version of BASIC and a real-time kernel for the Motorola 6800 processor, and was asked by Motorola to develop what turned into BASIC09 for the then-new Motorola 6809 processor.

Over time, Microware concentrated on industrial customers and neglected the hobbyist base that was porting a great many Unix packages and utilities to OS-9.

OS-9 was similarly written ( commercially by Microware ) as a UNIX-like operating system, implemented in native-code, not C, for the 6809 microprocessor.

As of 2012, OS-9 is still supported by RadiSys and Microware.

BASIC09 is a structured BASIC programming language dialect developed by Microware for the then-new Motorola 6809 CPU.

Software development company Microware developed the original OS-9 operating system ( not to be confused with the more recent Mac OS 9 ) for the 6809, later porting it to the 68000 and i386 series of microprocessors.

In late 1980s, Microware released OS-9000, a more portable version of the operating system.

Microware later started calling all of its operating systems — including what had been originally called OS-9000 — simply OS-9, and started shifting its business interest towards portable consumer device markets such as cellphones, car navigation, and multimedia.

Microware sued Apple that year for trademark infringement, although a judge ruled that there would be little chance for confusion between the two.

This acquisition infused Microware with capital and allowed Microware to continue OS-9 development and support.

Microware is a US corporation that produced the OS-9 real-time operating system.

Martin Maynard flew to California where alliances were made with United Microware Industries, Cosmi, Creative Software and Broderbund, some of the biggest suppliers of VIC software at that time.

In developing AIX, IBM and Interactive Systems Corporation ( whom IBM contracted ) also incorporated source code from 4. 2 and 4. 3 BSD UNIX.

The original AIX ( sometimes called AIX / RT ) was developed for the IBM 6150 RT workstation by IBM in conjunction with Interactive Systems Corporation, who had previously ported UNIX System III to the IBM PC for IBM as PC / IX.

AIX / 370 was IBM's third attempt to offer Unix-like functionality for their mainframe line, specifically the System / 370 ( the prior versions were a TSS / 370 based Unix system developed jointly with AT & T c. 1980, and VM / IX a VM / 370 based system developed jointly with Interactive Systems Corporation c. 1984 ).

Among the manufacturers which have made computer workstation systems using MIPS processors are SGI, MIPS Computer Systems, Inc., Whitechapel Workstations, Olivetti, Siemens-Nixdorf, Acer, Digital Equipment Corporation, NEC, and DeskStation.

On 28 January 2008, Northrop Grumman Corporation realigned its two shipbuilding sectors, Northrop Grumman Newport News and Northrop Grumman Ship Systems, into a single sector called Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding.

RoboHelp is a help authoring tool ( HAT ) created by eHelp Corporation ( formerly named Blue Sky Software ), acquired by Macromedia, which itself was then acquired by Adobe Systems.

Crocker has been a program manager at Advanced Research Projects Agency ( ARPA ), a senior researcher at USC's Information Sciences Institute, founder and director of the Computer Science Laboratory at The Aerospace Corporation and a vice president at Trusted Information Systems.

SGI was part of the Advanced Computing Environment initiative, formed in the early 1990s with 20 other companies, including Compaq, Digital Equipment Corporation, MIPS Computer Systems, Groupe Bull, Siemens, NEC, NeTpower, Microsoft and Santa Cruz Operation.

In June 2004 SGI sold the business, later renamed to Alias Systems Corporation, to the private equity investment firm Accel-KKR for $ 57. 1 million.

The IS-IS protocol was developed by Digital Equipment Corporation as part of DECnet Phase V. It was standardized by the ISO in 1992 as ISO 10589 for communication between network devices which are termed Intermediate Systems ( as opposed to end systems or hosts ) by the ISO.

The first commercial implementation of a NUMA-based Unix system was the Symmetrical Multi Processing XPS-100 family of servers, designed by Dan Gielan of VAST Corporation for Honeywell Information Systems Italy.

In 1988 he founded Perot Systems Corporation, Inc. in Plano, Texas.

Other major satellite manufacturers include Space Systems / Loral, Orbital Sciences Corporation with the STAR Bus series, Indian Space Research Organization, Lockheed Martin ( owns the former RCA Astro Electronics / GE Astro Space business ), Northrop Grumman, Alcatel Space, now Thales Alenia Space, with the Spacebus series, and Astrium.

ISC Systems Corporation ( ISC ) purchased the right to use DNIX in the late 1980s for use in its line of Motorola 68k-based banking computers.

STAR's chief designer, Jim Thornton, then left CDC to form the Network Systems Corporation.

There are many systems available today that are developed in accordance with STANAG 4586, including products by industry leaders such as AAI Corporation, CDL Systems, and Raytheon, all three of which are members of the Custodian Support Team for this protocol.

Groups created include Toshiba Music Industries / Toshiba EMI ( 1960 ), Toshiba International Corporation ( 1970s ) Toshiba Electrical Equipment ( 1974 ), Toshiba Chemical ( 1974 ), Toshiba Lighting and Technology ( 1989 ), Toshiba America Information Systems ( 1989 ) and Toshiba Carrier Corporation ( 1999 ).

Thin film phosphor electroluminescence was first commercialized during the 1980s by Sharp Corporation in Japan, Finlux ( Oy Lohja Ab ) in Finland, and Planar Systems in the USA.

These included Illustra ( Illustra Information Systems, acquired by Informix Software which was in turn acquired by IBM ), Omniscience ( Omniscience Corporation, acquired by Oracle Corporation and became the original Oracle Lite ), and UniSQL ( UniSQL, Inc., acquired by KCOMS ).
