How many versions of Omnimon and Omniview are there?

We have danced around this in a number of topics, but I don't think it has been very well defined.

 

For the 800 series there was originally 4K Omnimon.

I think that later there was a version with Omnimon and Omniview both in them -- so-called "8K Omnimon?"

Were there any others?

 

For the XL/XE, there were several:

I'm only aware of 1 version of Omnimon (sold as Omnimon XL).  Were there multiple versions?

Omniview -- there was the Original Omniview XL, Onmiview XE (ramdisk), Omniview 256 for 256K XL's.  Was there another version for the 320K XE's?

 

OSNXL  I'm really unclear on this.  I always believed that OSNXL and Omnimon were two different products.  The big selling point of OSNXL, I thought was that it included FastChip. Then I learned that OSNXL contains the Omnimon monitor. In fact, I saw one advert. that showed that Omniview also contained FastChip + "OSN" which I read as Operating System Newell. (?)

 

But I'm quite sure that Omniview (all) and Omnimon have different OS's -- based on the fact that quite a few things will run on Omniview but won't run on Omnimon.

 

Can someone add some clarity?
