RISC iX 1.2 1c (ARM) running under Arculator Digital Archaeologist 2023-02-05 | The UNIX BSD 4.3 based operating system called RISC iX from Acorn Computers. An ARM based UNIX designed to run on UNIX workstations based built the Archimedes architecture such as the R140, R225, R260 and A680. The operating system is ARM 2 and 3 compatible. The OS also supports Acorn's proprietary networking system called Econet which was common on their Archimedes machines as well as earlier machines such as the BBC Micro. Perhaps unusual for the time, the executables are transparently compressed with Squeeze compression. The kernel shown is not unfortunately a stock kernel note the "NSICT" and "colonel", but is itself an interesting historical footnote.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC_iX

Installing SCO UnixWare 7.1.4 (x86) under VirtualBox Digital Archaeologist 2022-04-10 | The operating system SCO UnixWare 7.1.4 being installed under VirtualBox. Originally created in a joint venture between AT&T and Novell, it subsequently became owned by SCO. For a long time, UnixWare was one of the significant UNIX operating systems running on x86 hardware.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UnixWare
Merge on SCO UnixWare - Installing Windows 98 Digital Archaeologist 2022-03-26 | The installation of Windows 98 under NeTraverse Merge on the SCO UnixWare operating system. Merge has a long history of providing the option of running DOS and Windows applications under x86 UNIX based operating systems from almost the very beginning. Merge was originally developed by the Locus Computing Corporation, which were are prominent UNIX software vendor throughout the 80s and early 90s. In it's finally days it may be more familiar to some has what culminated in the product Win4Lin.
Installing Novell Netware 6.5 SP8 (x86) under VirtualBox Digital Archaeologist 2022-03-20 | Installing Novell Netware 6.5 SP8 (x86) under VirtualBox. This is believed to be the last version of Netware bootstrapped from DOS.Netware was a popular server-only operating system primarily used to provide network services to DOS and Windows clients, although client support was certainly available for many other contemporary operating systems. It eventually succumbed to the pressures of Windows NT and its progeny.Netware was particularly noteworthy for NCP (Netware Core Protocol) and its IPX/SPX network stack. IPX/SPX was a de-facto standard on PC networks from the late 80s into the early 2000s, until TCP/IP and the popularity of the Internet led to its demise. Netware was perhaps even better known for NDS (Netware Directory Services), an advanced directory service which proved popular with enterprises up until Active Directory eventually out-competed it. Very early versions of Netware also ran on Motorola 68k systems built by Novell. Towards the end, Netware became an abstraction layer on top of OpenSUSE Linux before it's eventual demise into commercial obscurityen.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetWare
Installing Intel UNIX SVR4 2.0 (x86) under VirtualBox Digital Archaeologist 2021-08-15 | Installation of Intel UNIX SVR4 2.0 (x86) under VirtualBox. For all intents and purposes it's really just AT&T UNIX SVR4 2.0 with some Intel branding on the disks. * Installation was done with 16MB of RAM, but the OS will support 64MB once fully installed.* Floppy drive configured to 1.2MB 5.25"* 300MB IDE drive to to master
Apple GS/OS v4.02 (System 6.0.4) (WDC 65816) running on an Apple IIGS under GSPlus Digital Archaeologist 2020-12-23 | GS/OS is one of the native operating systems running on the Apple IIGS. The last official release from Apple was v4.02 System 6.0.1 however the version show here has been updated by the community with various bugfixes. It's a true 16bit operating system which has interesting features for it's time, such as pluggable file systems (FSTs) and Apple Talk networking. To anyone who's used early versions of MacOS 'classic', it's quite striking how similar GS/OS is however the Apple II series including the IIGS has a fundamentally different architecture to the Mac.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_GS/OS
EmuTOS 1.0 (m68k) running on an Amiga 1200 under FS-UAE Digital Archaeologist 2020-10-24 | This is a native alternative operating system available for the Amiga (and other platforms) which is highly compatible with the operating system called TOS found on the Atari ST range of computers. Although you're seeing an emulated Amiga A1200 here, the Amiga is not emulating an Atari ST in any way. Any software which accesses Atari hardware directly will not work but any clean written TOS software should work fine. A GEM compatible GUI called Emudesk is also shown as well as the built in command line. EmuTOS will of course run on real Amiga's and can even replace the Kickstart ROM.emutos.sourceforge.ioen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_TOS
AT&T UNIX/i386 SVR4 v3.0 (x86) running under VirtualBox Digital Archaeologist 2020-05-06 | This is the operating system AT&T UNIX SVR4 v3.0 running under VirtualBox. This was an official AT&T reference release of UNIX SVR4 for the PC. Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie were the 'inventors' of UNIX and worked at AT&T bell labs at the time. Whilst UNIX historically did exist as a specific operating system, UNIX is better thought of as a family of operating systems which can often be completely distinct from each other but share a common ancestry. UNIX is perhaps the most widely deployed 'family' of operating systems in history, serving as the basis for thousands of past and present operating systems as well as inspiring clones of UNIX such as GNU/Linux. This version includes BSD and XENIX compatibility. Also shown here is an early X11 display server and the an early attempt at a standard UNIX desktop environment called OpenLook. The OpenLook desktop can also be seen in the Solaris 8 and Amiga UNIX videos. OpenLook for the most-part would be superseded by CDE.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix
MtXinu Mach386 2.5 (x86) running under VirtualBox Digital Archaeologist 2020-04-26 | The operating system called MtXinu Mach386 running under VirtualBox. The name appears to be a play on the UNIX Trademark as looks like 'Unix™' in reverse. This OS is interesting in that the kernel is based on Mach but contains a BSD core, forming a hybrid system with a BSD userland. Later versions, notably version 3.0 moved to a pure Mach kernel but 'personalities' were added by building operating system servers. An example of this was DUI (DOS User Interface) which allows DOS programs to run under MtXinu Mach386.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MtXinu
Solaris 8 (SPARC) running under Qemu Digital Archaeologist 2020-01-25 | Solaris 8 (SPARC) running on an emulated Sun Sparcstation 5 under Qemu. At the time of writing Solaris is still current with the latest version available being 11.4. Solaris is noted for being heavily targeted at SPARC based RISC processors, not only on Sun's own machines but historically also machines available from Fujitsu, Tatung and others. Solaris was also made available for x86 processors and for a brief period, PowerPC processors although it gained virtually no market share in that area. Solaris was the successor to SunOS and was rebranded when Sun moved from BSD based UNIX to System V. For a brief period of time, Solaris was made open source before being purchased by Oracle and subsequently closed again. For much of it's lifetime, Solaris had a significant proportion of the UNIX market and was particularly common in Enterprises and Universities. The video shows the contemporary UNIX desktop of the time called CDE (Common Desktop Environment) which became a standard amongst UNIX vendors. Also shown is the legacy Sun desktop called OpenLook / OpenWindows.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system)
PC-MOS 5.02 (x86) running under VirtualBox Digital Archaeologist 2019-08-17 | The multitasking and multi-user DOS based operating system called PC-MOS running under VirtualBox. The version shown here is actually a recent release with a few modern fixes but is otherwise essentially the same as the OS used in the early 90s. In addition to multi-tasking and multi-user capabilities, users could also connect via serial lines and running DOS applications allowing a single PC to be used by many users. PC-MOS also supported a crude form of user security which also meant that if your business was DOS based, you could have a reasonably secure environment.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC-MOS/386
OS-9 6.1 (x86) running under VirtualBox Digital Archaeologist 2019-08-10 | This is OS-9 6.1, or more specifically OS-9000 running under VirtualBox. Whilst this specific version is quite modern, OS-9 goes back to the late 1970s and was particularly popular on the CoCo and Dragon series of home computers. More recently it was used as the basis of the operating system for the Phillips CD-i but has found it's niche in the embedded market. OS-9 was and is available for a large number of platforms and architectures including 6809, PPC, M68K, ARM and SuperH and platforms from the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST through to ARM based single board computers. OS-9 is a realtime, multiuser and multitasking operating system with a very low memory footprint. Despite it's initial appearance, OS-9 is not a UNIX and actually functions quite differently,.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-9
Breadbox Ensemble 4.1.2 (x86) running under PCem Digital Archaeologist 2019-08-07 | Perhaps not an operating system in the strictest sense, Breadbox Ensemble started out life as PC/GEOS, an incompatible cousin of the Commodore 64 desktop called GEOS. Later renamed to Geoworks Ensemble, then Newdeal Office and finally Breadbox Ensemble. Two default UI modes are shown. The first, clearly having similarities to Win9x called Industry Standard and the second ased on Motif. Motif was a widget toolkit that many UNIX based desktops used in the 90s and early 2000s were built upon, particularly CDE for example. Perhaps a point of interest is that many apps for Breadbox Ensemble were design with multiple levels of usability in mind (1, 2, 3, 4) which could be set depending the confidence level of theuser.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOS_(16-bit_operating_system)
AmigaOS 1.3 (m68k) running under FS-UAE Digital Archaeologist 2019-07-27 | This is AmigaOS 1.3 running under FS-UAE on an emulated Commodore Amiga 500. The OS was not really branded as AmigaOS at the time but consisted of the main components called Kickstart (the "kernel") which was usually held in ROM but not always. Workbench, the desktop and file manager environment and AmigaDOS. AmigaOS in conjunction with the hardware was quite ahead of it's time, especially when compared to its contemporaries. Not only did it have a pre-emptive multi-tasking OS, it was well suited to multimedia applications and included an advanced command line.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmigaOS
BSD/OS 5.1 (x86) running under VirtualBox Digital Archaeologist 2019-05-06 | The operating system called BSD/OS running under VirtualBox. A BSD based UNIX operating system originally development by BSDi and later purchase by Wind River Inc. BSD/OS became the originally foundation for FreeBSD before finally being cancelled sometime around 2003. It was known for it's good SMP support as well as advanced networking capabilities and firewalling. BSD/OS was also available for SPARC based systems from Sun Microsystemsen.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD/OS
CP/M-80 (z80) for C128 running under Vice Digital Archaeologist 2019-03-04 | This is the operating system from Digital Research called CP/M, running on the secondary processor (a z80) of the Commodore 128 in 80 column mode.
Concurrent DOS XM 6.01 (x86) running under PCem Digital Archaeologist 2018-10-28 | The early multitasking DOS called Concurrent DOS XM 6.01 running under PCem. Traditional DOS without additional software or hacks was a single user, single tasking OS. Concurrent DOS XM could also support additional users via serial attached terminals. Due to it's heritage Concurrent DOS XM is also capable of running CP/M-86 programs.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiuser_DOS
AIX 1.3.0 PS/2 (x86) running under VirtualBox Digital Archaeologist 2018-10-26 | The UNIX based operating system from IBM called AIX. This is the PS/2 Edition of AIX which was originally intended to run on IBM PS/2 hardware but later releases included support for running on standard 386 & 486 AT systems. AIX is still developed and in use today as a high-end server operating system running on POWER hardware and is particularly common in the finance industry. In the past, it also ran on RS/6000 systems as well as PowerPC systems from Apple and Motorola. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given it's an IBM operating system, this edition had significant support for MCA and Token Ring rather than ISA and Ethernet devices which would be more common on AT systems.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_AIX
MacOS 8.1 (m68k) running under Basilisk II Digital Archaeologist 2018-09-15 | This is last full version of MacOS to run on Motorola 68k based Apple Macs, before Apple ended support after completely switching to PowerPC based systems. MacOS whilst being in common use at home, found strong markets in business within the publishing and music production industries. MacOS was also considered by many to be an extremely user friendly operating system and actually lacked things like a native command line.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_8

OPENSTEP 4.2 (x86) running under VirtualBox Digital Archaeologist 2018-06-26 | The BSD UNIX operating system called OPENSTEP/Mach 4.2 running under VirtualBox. OPENSTEP was the successor to NeXTStep and would eventually become the foundation for MacOS X. Running under a Mach Microkernel it was particularly note-worthy for being an intuitive and easy-to-use UNIX, somewhat popular in scientific circles. Unlike most UNIX systems, OPENSTEP and it's friends did not use X as it's native display system but instead used a system based upon Display Postscript. In addition to x86 PCs, OPENSTEP also ran on SPARC and PA-RISC workstations as well as NeXT's own Motorola 68k based systems.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenStepen.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTSTEP

Bubble Bobble - ZX Spectrum - Fuse Digital Archaeologist 2018-06-20 | Bubble Bobble running on the ZX Spectrum. The particular model shown here is the +2. Bubble Bobble is being loaded from cassette, however the loading is accelerated abd not in real time. The Sinclair ZX Spectrum was a popular British home computer built by Sinclair Research and later owned and built by Amstrad. Common models included the 16k, 48k, 128k, +2, +2A and +3. The Spectrum contained a Z80 @ 3.5Mhz and was supplied with Sinclair Basic as the 'OS'. There are also hundreds of clones in existence, some official such as those from Timex but many unofficial. The Spectrum was heavily cloned by european 'Eastern Bloc' countries, particularly Russia as well as many south american countries, in particular Brazil.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spectrum
Bubble Bobble - Nintendo DS - Desmume Digital Archaeologist 2018-06-20 | Bubble Bobble for the Nintendo DS. The DS was a dual-screen handheld games console developed by Nintendo.

The particular model emulated here is the BBC Model B and shows Bubble Bobble being loaded from disc via DFS (Disc Filing System). Other models included Model A, Master 128 and Master Compact as well as the closely related and mostly compatible Acorn Electron. The BBC Micro was most notable for use in the educational sector in the UK and was considered the predecessor to the Acorn Archimedes RISC range of machines. Generally installed with a 6502/6512 processor and running BBC Basic and MOS (Machine Operating System) often just simply called OS. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Micro
Interactive UNIX SVR 3.2 v2.2 (x86) running under VirtualBox Digital Archaeologist 2018-02-17 | Interactive UNIX SVR 3.2 v2.2 running under VirtualBox. Interactive UNIX was an early UNIX system for PCs originally created by ISC and later sold to Kodak and eventually Sun Microsystems. At Sun, it became their main low-end x86 offering in contrast to the high-end Solaris based SPARC systems. Eventually Solaris on x86 became Sun's focus instead. The preferred desktop at the time for Interactive UNIX was Visix Looking Glass. Looking Glass was a motif based environment as was common at the time, but was considered quite user-friendly when compared to main of it's UNIX contemporaries. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_Systems_Corporation
MSX-DOS 2.20 (Z80) running under OpenMSX Digital Archaeologist 2018-02-08 | MSX-DOS is an 8bit operating system developed by Microsoft for machines which were MSX compatible. MSX-DOS shares a lot of similarities with MS-DOS and CP/M. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSX-DOS
Symbos 3.0 (Z80) running under OpenMSX Digital Archaeologist 2018-02-05 | The operating system Symbos 3.0 running on OpenMSX. While probably not technically an ancient operating system, Symbos targets ancient systems. This particular version is shown running on an emulated MSX2+. Symbos also runs on Amstrad CPC & PCW systems as well as Enterprise 64/128. What's particularly astounding about this OS is that it runs in as little as 128K, has a complete GUI and supports multitasking. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SymbOSen.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSX
Atari GEM / TOS 2.06 (m68k) running under Hatari Digital Archaeologist 2017-12-29 | The operating system TOS v2.06 and GEM. TOS literally stands for 'The Operating System' and perhaps originally 'Tramiel Operating System' after Jack Tramiel. GEM, originally developed by Digital Research provides the native graphical environment for TOS. TOS was the native operating system for the Atari ST/TT/Falcon lines of systems from Atari.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_TOS
AMIX : Commodore Amiga UNIX 2.1c (m68k) running under FS-UAE. Digital Archaeologist 2017-12-23 | The SVR4 UNIX operating system called AMIX, officially known as Commodore Amiga UNIX running under FS-UAE. The video shows AMIX running on a virtual A3000 with 68030 CPU, 68882 FPU, an A2065 network card and a Picasso II+ graphics card installed. Additional 3rd drivers for the graphics card to provide a high resolution colour display have been installed. In addition to twm, a full OpenLook desktop was distributed with AMIX. AMIX was one of the first (if not the first) ports of SVR4 to the Motorola 68k series of processors. At the time, Sun Microsystems were even interested in rebadging the Commodore Amiga 3000UX as an entry level Sun Workstation, but ultimately the deal fell through.Whilst AMIX was a particularly faithful implementation of SVR4, it failed to exploit many of the unique features and strengths of the Amiga hardware platform. In particular it's multimedia capabilities. Support for 3rd party hardware was also very limited. It also cannot run on new processors such as the 040 and 060. Amix was the official operating system of the Amiga 2500UX, 3000UX and Amiga 3500, although the later was never released in production.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_Unix
RISC OS 4.02 (ARM) running under RPCEmu Digital Archaeologist 2017-12-16 | The operation system RISC OS 4.02 running under RPCEmu. Not to be confused with RISC/os, a completely unrelated UNIX based operating system which runs on MIPS. RISC OS was the primary operating system for the Archimedes and RiscPC range of computers from the British computer company, Acorn and saw particularly heavy use in the education sector in the UK from the late 80s to late 90s. Partly due to being considered the logical successor of the BBC Micro. In the home computer market it competed directly with the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST systems. RISC OS is particularly noteworthy for being a very early user of RISC architecture processors, specifically ARM (now ubiquitous), also designed by Acorn. RISC OS introduced or made use of many GUI features which were highly innovative at the time, including an icon-bar (dock/taskbar), context sensitive pop-up menus, extensive use of drag 'n drop and font anti-aliasing. RISC OS also includes a built-in BBC BASIC scripting language and a somewhat unique command line system. RISC OS is still available today in various forms and has been ported to other devices such as the Raspberry Pi.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC_OS
Windows 3.11 (x86) running under VirtualBox Digital Archaeologist 2017-12-11 | Windows 3.11 running under VirtualBox. Additional drivers are included such as a DOS TCP/IP stack, improved SVGA driver and DOS Idle which reduces host CPU usage.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows
DESQView/X 2.1 (x86) Motif running under VirtualBox Digital Archaeologist 2017-12-10 | This is DESQView/X 2.1 running under MS-DOS 6.22. Whilst not strictly an operating system, in the much the same way Windows 3.1 isn't, it was used as such. DESQView/X is a different product to the original DESQView. It's actually a complete X Windows (X11) environment running under DOS which was extremely impressive at the time. This meant you could easily run graphical applications across the network from a UNIX server as well as port UNIX applications to DOS more easily.The video shows the Motif window manager, although alternatives window managers were available, including OpenLook.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DESQview
Banyan Vines 8.5 (x86) running under VirtualBox Digital Archaeologist 2017-12-09 | The operating system Banyan Vines (x86) running under VirtualBox. Banyan Vines is a UNIX based network operating system which primarily server Windows & DOS based clients using it's own proprietary VINES network protocol. It was particularly known for it's directory service called StreetTalk which pre-dates Active Directory and even Netware Directory Services. StreetTalk was perhaps even the first enterprise-class directory service. As well as PCs, Banyan Vines also ran on PS/2s with early versions running on Motorola 68k systems designed specifically by Banyan. Not much to look at, most of the management of the server was done directly from a Windows or DOS client.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banyan_VINES
Netware 6.5 SP4 (x86) running on VirtualBox Digital Archaeologist 2017-11-08 | The operating system Novell Netware 6.5 service pack 4, running under VirtualBox. Netware was a popular server-only operating system primarily used to provide network services to DOS and Windows clients, although client support was certainly available for many other contemporary operating systems. It eventually succumbed to the pressures of Windows NT and its progeny.Netware was particularly noteworthy for NCP (Netware Core Protocol) and its IPX/SPX network stack. IPX/SPX was a de-facto standard on PC networks from the late 80s into the early 2000s, until TCP/IP and the popularity of the Internet led to its demise. Netware was perhaps even better known for NDS (Netware Directory Services), an advanced directory service which proved popular with enterprises up until Active Directory eventually out-competed it. Very early versions of Netware also ran on Motorola 68k systems built by Novell.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetWare
