+In 1978, Smoke Signal Chieftain Computers (SSCC) released their first computer: The Chieftain, followed in 1980 by the Chieftain Business System, an update to the original Chieftain.
+
+At the start of 1982, the company introduced the Chieftain 9822, an update to the Business System featuring the same processor and static RAM options, as well as the same nine-slot bus equipped with the first two Chieftains.
+
+The system could be equipped with either two 8-inch or two 5.25-inch floppy drives and Winchester hadr drives with a capacity between 4 MB to 60 MB. This Chieftain spanned two units: one for the disk drives, the other for the processor, memory, and disk controller.
+
+Purchasers could choose either an updated version of DOS-68 for the Motorola 6809—its name now shortened to Smoke Signal DOS—or Microware's multi-tasking, multi-user, "Unix-comparable" operating system, OS-9. Smoke Signal DOS was free of charge, while OS-9 cost an additional US$195. A system configured with Smoke Signal's choice of dumb terminal and printer cost around US$8149. The Chieftain's two units could be mounted under a desk or stacked on top of each other.
+
+Here are some configurations advertised in april 1982:
+
+\- The Chieftain 95W4: 4 MB hard disk + 360 KB 5.25'' floppy disk drive\
+\- The Chieftain 98W15: 15 MB hard disk + 1 MB 8'' floppy disk drive\
+\- The Chieftain 95XW4: 4 MB hard disk + 750 KB octo-density floppy disk drive\
+\- The Chieftain 9W15T20: 15 MB hard disk + 20 MB tape streamer
