OS-9/6809 was first in 1980, then it was ported to 68K assembly  
around 1983.  OS-9000 was the rewrite in C for the 386 and 68020+  
processors in 1989.

Brother Jeremy never was part of the project, but was the one person  
championing it's release (even with his song to Keving Darling, "Set  
the upgrade free".  Ah, good times.)
