VERSAdos is a real-time, multi-user operating system from the early 1980s, produced by Motorola's Microsystems Division for the EXORmacs, a development system built around the Motorola 68000 processor. The EXORmacs featured the VERSAbus and an array of option cards, and was typically connected to CDC Phoenix disk drives holding one to four 14-inch platters. Its purpose was to emulate a 680xx processor in-circuit, which sped the development of systems based on those chips, and it also hosted several compilers and assemblers, including a port of a Modula 2 compiler. VERSAdos was the follow-on to MDOS, the single-user system that ran the 6800 development system called the EXORciser, and both machines used a harness with a CPU socket compatible connector.
