Unix for 8-bit Apple — #22

When will you be posting the Apple II stuff on there that you have? Click to expand... Hopefully in July or August. I need to update the Vault page, though. I've done more work…

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #21

I don't post. I just read the news on my site. See this topic: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9839 Click to expand... Yeah I saw that thread. It looked like a simple way to check up…

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #19

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…

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #18

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. Click …

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #16

Well, the browser is a damned handy thing... with serious limitations. It's not really much good for modern web content, but it is a great way to download files to your Apple II. Y…

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #15

I don't think not programming for Contiki disqualifies you from commenting on its use. Anything about the (user perspective!) differences between 1.x and 2.x, using the UI or …

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #14

Unfortunately I don't have much to contribute... I haven't done any programming for Contiki. As far as using it goes, I'm running the 2.x version on the web server and I use 1.3 fo…

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #13

Maybe luddite could write a bit about his Contiki experiences for us, and explain the differences between the 1.x and 2.x branches. I recently read something about 2.x being focus…

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #12

I played with it a bit last year... I was hoping to get a proline bbs online, but the message board part is pretty archaic and I wasn't up to the task of writing a new one. Neat to…

I took a look at ProLine last night, since it apparently has a lot of Unix-like architecture. Click to expand... Except I don't believe it does multitasking, does it? Click …

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #8

I think the closest you'll come to something that works out of the box w/o a lot of work is Contiki. I don't have any experience with it, but some people around here do.

Thanks for the links. I have no idea if I'll be able to pull it off or not. Looking around, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of success stories. With more searching, I found t…

Also the 6502 has no virtual memory management, so fork() becomes meaningless. Click to expand... What about the MMU in the //e?

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #2

Urg, 6502 is one of the worst processors for C let alone UNIX. The size of the stack (256 bytes) is crippling. So you have to do the stack yourself. Also the 6502 has no virtual me…
