Kan du komme med nogle navne? Jeg har ikke hørt noget lignende.
'As most of you know, AmigaDOS was not the first choice for the
top-level OS/DOS on the Amiga computer. What we now call AmigaDOS was
really the backup DOS, based on an already existing OS known as Tripos
(developed at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory by the
TRIPOS Research Group, and converted with amazing speed by Metacomco's
Dr. Tim King and his band of programmers). When the original,
intended, designed-for-the-Amiga DOS failed to materialize (in what
would no doubt be an interesting story in itself), the Amiga was
launched with AmigaDOS, and the rest is history, so to speak.'
