There have been at least two atempts to use this name.
One small system (homecomputer) and one singleboarder.
The first was jus to early (and to expensive), while
the later one wasn't realy designed for a mass audience :)
Also there is a OS called KISS.

Sorry, I can't comment that, but there is a) a 8080 Basic variant
that uses Deutsch, and b) at least two atempts of uC programming
languages besed on German verbs (but they look more like COBOL :)

Nop, but I wish I had at least the singleboarder (althrough the
HC might be historical more relevant, I just love the barebone
systems).
