About 1988 or so I started work on a multi-tasking OS using a
beeb+6502 2P. (I wrote a custom terminal emulator so multiple econet
stations could connect and talk to tasks running on it..)  It was
intended to run multiple copies of the same text based program, for a
bbs or MUG, rather than multiple programs, though no reason why it
couldn't have done so later.

I didn't get too far unfortunately, the terminal software was done and
worked i think, but the os never got finished.  I still have all the
work i did, though,,,
