I think you might be underestimating the requirements for a UNIX like OS. An 8Mhz 68000 struggles, so how a 6502 is supposed to cope I'm not sure.

Is it more…
Might want to investigate Minix. It's designed for teaching OS design, so even if a porting effort failed, it would be an educational fail . It is to some extent unix-like.

OK, maybe I'm just talking to myself by now, but I found this site in Linux Journal magazine: http://www.freertos.org/
There's no port for the 6502/Apple yet, but I'm going to tak…

***Correction***
The PPC is a 7300/180, not a 7200. Its running a version of system 8.
***Update***
The LC 575 also is running system 8, but a bit less hapily than the 7300, won…

After i picked up my 8100/110 several months ago, i had no monitor to use with it. On sunday, i found someone on craigslist selling a 7200 with monitor and a bunch of accessories, …
I read quite a few Usenet posts last evening on this subject, most from the late 80's. It looks like co-operative multitasking is going to be the way to go, unless one can get a ca…

cool, I went to my dad's house and got his "the applesoft tutorial", which has been sitting in the same drawer since his apple //e was brand new
except for a tiny wrinkle on the d…

Oh yes, I am ready to get started. I have been studying the "Programming the 6502" book which I obtained just for this project.
I now know the equivalent of Applesoft's PEEK, POKE…

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. I've seen you quite a few times on csa2 as well. UNIX on the Apple II is something that people have been talking about for over 20 years…

I don't think that it does. I just read the manual last evening, and it looks like it's a bunch of BASIC scripts all tied together. It does have a task scheduler, though.
