I like that it is using a backplane architecture.

The OS made me wonder how far someone could get trying to create a GUI for the 6502. I suppose the Apple II (GS?) headed there before the Mac fully took the reins and the Apple II was left out to pasture.

Well the most well known one is Geos for the C64

There's also this Atari homebrew

And yes the IIGS had one

One comment on the IIgs vs the C64; the IIgs had a 16-bit CPU and tons of RAM, so GS/OS is not necessarily representative of what is possible on a 6502.

Yeah, the backplane immediately gives me S100 vibes.
