With OS-9, the coco could even go beyond multiple displays to multiple
users, each of which could have multiple displays if you really wanted, and
this was possible to some degree even in the coco 1/2 days of level 1.
IBM/MS-DOS never gained the capabilities that OS-9 had in 1980 or 81 IIRC.
The coco is definitely a cool computer.
