Based on a Z80 CPU, the BOSS was introduced by Olympia in Germany in 1980. It was mostly used in office environments, running either on CP/M or PROLOGUE operating system.

The system came dead without any schematics and required redraw schematics as well as disassembling the boot ROM in order to bring it back to live.
