MNBIOS
Is it multitasking? Yes, it is true, it is multi-thread and multi-CPU
Another Unixlike for the MSX, which appears to be a bit less developed than Uzix, albeit still capable. Offered in both Spanish and English, a significant amount of graphical and non-graphical features are available with this system, complete with a perfectly outdated looking website.

SymbOS
SymbOS is now fully network enabled and thanks to its multitasking environment multiple applications can open multiple connections at the same time.
A truly advanced marvel for the MSX2 line of computers. Capable of doing a mind-blowing amount of things, including video and audio playback, multiple network connections, addressing 1TB+ hard drives, application and window multitasking, and more! You need to see it to believe it. Tremendous amounts of apps are available, too!

Uzix
UZIX 2.0 is a big improvement over version 1.0. The main differences are the bigger kernel, allowing more functions to be accomodated in the kernel, and a bigger application space
A quite comprehensive Unix-clone for the MSX computers, although this appears to be specifically targeted at computers of the MSX2 specifications. Two versions exist, of which one is more advanced but in a “Beta” state at the time of when development appeared to stop.
