- No confusion at all...
-
- The Ohio Scientific OS1 *shipped* with the OS/9 OS, several years before the
- Amiga came out. Around 5 to 7 *years* before the Amiga came out.
-
- Yes, OS/9 is and has been available for nearly every other platform (including
- the Amiga - from a guy in Australia), but the Ohio Scientific was the first in
- the *home* computer class, and it was "the first *home computer* to be
- *shipped* with a multi-tasking OS".
