website = The SHARE Operating System, also known as SOS, was created in 1959 as an improvement on the General Motors GM-NAA I/O operating system, the first operating system, by the SHARE user group. The main target was to improve the sharing of programs over GM-NAA I/O.SHARE Operating System provided new methods to manage
buffer s andinput/output devices, and, like GM-NAA I/O, allowed execution of programs written inassembly language .Initially it worked on
IBM 704 computer, but later was ported toIBM 709 .Later
IBM supported it under the nameIBSYS , porting it to its new transistor-based computers, the 7090 and 7094.ee also
