  TOS
       
           /toss/
       
          1. {IBM}'s {Tape Operating System}.
       
          2. The {operating system} of the {Atari} ST range of
          computers.  This range included the 512ST, 1040ST and the F,
          FM and E variations (e.g.1040STE).  Later, 32-bit machines
          (TT, Falcon030 and MegaSTE) were developed using a new version
          of TOS, called {MultiTOS} which was based on {MinT}.
       
          TOS went through several revisions starting initially as a
          derivative of {CP/M}, but developing into a remarkably
          complete and flexible operating system.  Features include: a
          {flat memory model}, {MS-DOS}-compatible disk format and
          support for {MIDI} and {SCSI} (in later versions).  TOS was
          designed to run Atari's version of the {GEM} {GUI}.
       
          There is some argument as to what TOS stands for, the main
          candidates being "Tramiel Operating System" (named after
          Atari's head at the time) or simply "The Operating System".
       
          3.  {Terms Of Service}.
       
          4. Star Trek The Original Series as opposed to ST-TNG or
          ST-DS9.
