I think mine just had DOS… can’t remember for sure, it was a looong time ago. Bought it off a friend in high school for $200, with a big floppy drive, cassette recorder, and one of those massive modems that you had to stick the phone handle into.
Also copied a bunch of games on cassette for it. Don’t remember the name, but I used to love one game you ran around in a ww2 submarine taking out ships. I’d spend hours finding a convoy, popping up right in the middle and firing off everything I could before diving deep to avoid the depth charges.
i got a pirated copy of os9 w/ photocopied documentation but i didn’t have any application software. i did get tons of monthly warez on floppy. my favorite was zaxxon.
