iMAX 432

Operating System

iMAX 432 was an operating system developed by Intel for computers based on the 1980s Intel iAPX 432 32 bit microprocessor. Intel used the marketing term micromainframe to describe the iAPX 432 processor's capabilities as comparable to a mainframe, and the iAPX 432 processor and iMAX 432 were incompatible with the x86 architecture common in personal computers. iMAX 432 was implemented in a subset of the original 1980 version of the Ada programming language, extended with runtime type checking and dynamic package creation.
