The ConvergentTechnologies Operating System, also known variously as CTOS, BTOS and STARSYS, was a modular, message-passing, multi-process based operating system.
ConvergentTechnologies' first product was the IWS (Integrated Workstation) based on the Intel 8086 processor, which had CTOS as its operating system.
The single largest customer was Unisys, with whom ConvergentTechnologies merged to become one company in 1988.
ConvergentTechnologies was a company formed by a small group of people who left Intel Corporation in 1979.
ConvergentTechnologies' first product was the IWS (Integrated Workstation) based on the Intel 8086, which ran ConvergentTechnologies Operating System - their first operating system.
Convergent later used the Motorola 68010 in their MiniFrame and MightyFrame systems, running a UNIX-like operating system called CTIX.
