| | GEOS (16-bit operating system) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In 1995, GEOS appeared (running on top of DOS) on the HP OmniGo 100, a flip-around clamshell handheld computer powered by a Vadem VG230, which is a highly integrated PC-on-a-chip that includes an 80186-compatible core. | | | GEOS was bundled with numerous PCs at the time, but like other GUI environments for the PC platform, such as GEM, it ultimately proved less successful in the marketplace than Windows. | | | The subsystem of GeoWorks was used by America Online for their DOS-based AOL connection and browsing software from the time of introduction on IBM compatible PCs until the late 1990s when America Online dropped development for graphical DOS in favor of Microsoft Windows. |

| | commodore.ca History of GEOS Operating System for Commodore Computers |
| | GEOS for the Commodore had some fatal flaws that doomed it as a viable 8-bit operating system. | | | GEOS, an astounding software product line from Berkeley Softworks, breathed new life into Commodore's 8-bit computers (the C64, C128) at a time when sales of 8 bit boxes were beginning to sag. | | | GEOS touted itself as a user-friendly system that would help you be productive and use your personal computer for real things in the real world. |

| | GEOS is the best known, but a number of people have made UNIX-like operating system replacements for the Commodore 64 and 128. | | | Thus, the developers then rewrote parts of the Commodore operating system on both the computer and the disk drive, and replaced the parts of them that did disk I/O with new pieces of code. | | | The 65C816 is a 16 bit version of the 6502/6510, so it is possible to write software for the new IC that takes advantage of the 16 bit opcodes. |

The operators can be simple, such as "add" (taking two inputs) or "premultiply by alpha" (taking one input), or more complex, such as colorspace conversions. |

| | Operating Systems Through Time (8-bits) |
| | While some operating systems, like the love-hate Unix, have been around since the early days of digital computing (read 1960's), most have appeared in the late 70's to the present time, varying from powerful multiuser OS's to little OS's that ran on 8 bit computers in under 64K of memory. | | | A port(?) of Atari ST TOS (Tramiel Operating System, how egotistical ;-) existed (TOS was based on Digital Research's GEM, but I don't think the 8-bit version was), and there was also SpartaDOS, a UNIX like system that allowed external storage up to 10MB. | | | GEOS was also released for the MS-DOS line, since it would run on older systems scorned by Windows, but PC-GEOS, as phenomenally powerful as it is, was eventually run down into a footnote in the PC GUI wars. |
