OS/7 is a discontinued operating system from Sperry Univac for its 90/60 and 90/70 computer systems. It was first announced in November 1971 for the Univac 9700 and was originally scheduled for delivery in March 1973, but delivery slipped by nearly a year, which hurt marketing of the 9700. Univac first demonstrated it on the new 90/60 in October 1973, and an official release was then planned for January 1974. It was described as a multi-tasking, multi-programming system that used a roll-in, roll-out capability to keep the processor busy. OS/7 was abruptly discontinued in 1975 in favor of VS/9, the name Univac gave to RCA's VMOS operating system.
