General Motors Operating System made for IBM 701 [2] MIT's Tape Director operating system made for UNIVAC 1103 [3] [4] 1956 GM-NAA I/O for IBM 704, based on General Motors Operating System; 1957 Atlas Supervisor (Manchester University) (Atlas computer project start) BESYS , for IBM 704, later IBM 7090 and IBM 7094; 1958
It was based on several Digital Equipment Corporation operating systems, mostly for the PDP-11 architecture. Microsoft's first operating system, MDOS/MIDAS, was designed along many of the PDP-11 features, but for microprocessor based systems. MS-DOS, or PC DOS when supplied by IBM, was designed to be similar to CP/M-80. [18]
ENIAC (/ ˈ ɛ n i æ k /; Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) [1] [2] was the first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer, completed in 1945. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Other computers had some of these features, but ENIAC was the first to have them all.

[37] [38] JX Java operating system that focuses on a flexible and robust operating system architecture developed as an open source system by the University of Erlangen. KERNAL (default OS on ...
This new operating system was initially without organizational backing, and also without a name. The new operating system was a single-tasking system. [17] In 1970, the group coined the name Unics for Uniplexed Information and Computing Service as a pun on Multics, which stood for Multiplexed Information and Computer Services.
Most ran the CP/M-80 operating system developed by Gary Kildall at Digital Research. CP/M-80 was the first popular microcomputer operating system to be used by many different hardware vendors, and many software packages were written for it, such as WordStar and dBase II.
At this stage, the new operating system was a singletasking operating system, [3] not a multitasking one such as Multics. The name Unics (Uniplexed Information and Computing Service, pronounced as " eunuchs "), a pun on Multics (Multiplexed Information and Computer Services), was initially suggested for the project in 1970.
