RDOS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

RDOS, or the Real-time Disk Operating System, was a real-time operating system released in 1972 for the popular Data General Nova and Data General Eclipse minicomputers. RDOS was also capable of multitasking. RDOS could run up to 32 "tasks" (similar to threads on modern computer CPUs) simultaneously within a 64K memory space. Later versions of RDOS were compatible with Data General's 16-bit Eclipse minicomputer line.
