Technical details

OS/8 (not to be confused with IBM's OS/2); formerly known as MS/8 and PS/8 is an OS from Digital Equipment Corporation that ran on the PDP-8 system as its main OS. It uses the Concise Command Language which was considered a very advanced language comparable to some modern ones. OS/8 could boot in under half a second and could be reconfigured without rebooting but had no form of timekeeping and first encountered Y2K problems in 1977.
