Here are a couple new operating system versions:

And here are unusual or interesting new prints. Nmap fingerprint
submitters are great at sending me to Google and Wikipedia to find out
what these operating systems are.

lwIP 1.3.0 lightweight TCP/IP stack

Phar Lap ETS 13

        The submitter says that the chip on this board implements
        Ethernet in software.

KA9Q NOS TCP/IP stack for packet radio
        This one is really cool. It is a TCP/IP stack written by Phil
        Karn to connect computers over amateur radio. The first
        implementation was written for CP/M in 1985.

Bluebird SuperDOS
        I had trouble finding information on this one but I like the
        name. I emailed the submitter for more information. There used
        to be a web page:
