A web search shows that this was a real RTOS developed by Digital Research, but I can't find anything more than that. WillOakland (talk) 21:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete without attempting to make a very small stub more worthy. This was an OS from a historically important vendor and the commercial experience of this OS illustrates the nature of the market. Microsoft was beginning to make its move toward OS dominance, along with Intel controlling the biggest chunk ofthe CPU market. It should be referenced in the articles having to do with the historical development of that market. ww (talk) 01:59, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Once it was a real OS (see [1]) and as such, it is notable enough to have its own article. The article can be easily expanded. Ruslik (talk) 13:26, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Sufficient scholarly work describing this OS exists to provide the basis for a real article. Google news also finds some potential sources. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:20, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A search of Google Books shows non-trivial coverage back in the early 1990s. At worst, it can be merged/redirected to Digital Research. • Gene93k (talk) 14:35, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
