isnt the GS 16 bit? Click to expand... The WDC 65816 (also: 65C816), a 16-bit microprocessor CPU developed by the Western Design Center (WDC), is an expanded and compatible suc…

yeah, but you can also write 8-bit code because the 65c816 also knows about the 65c02.

isnt the GS 16 bit?

Ah, but that would be the easy route, plus there's already GNO/ME. Click to expand... Bah, that's like MachTen or Mac06 on the Mac. Doesn't count! Targetting the GS first…

csa2p Click to expand... Took me a bit to figure out what that meant. Sounds to me like targetting the IIgs, because it has the most resources, including a built-in source…

Just as update: this discussion is being continued on csa2p. There have been 9 replies since yesterday.

Comparing a PDP-7 to a 6502 is not a bad comparison, especially when the UNIX group were using it, it was already considered obsolete.

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. Click to expand... 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…

Would it be possible to make the user profile page automatically contain a link to the corresponding wiki User: page? (One assumes people use the same name in both locations.) I …

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…

I have posted my lasted blog on my xanga site (where I have posted my entries in the past...) http://doctorclu.xanga.com/ Or http://www.xanga.com/doctorclu should also work. …

My Retrochallenge blog will be at: http://conceitedjerk.tripod.com/retro09.html Nothing's there yet, will have something up (likely) tomorrow! :b&w:

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…

yea i saw that after i posted and the cheesefactory 404's cause i havent put anything there (yet) thanks

you are linked on the blog page but cheesefactory 404s i would say you are good to go!

i sent an email to enter in, how do we know if were good to go?
