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…

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…

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…

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

Competition starts in two days. Sign up... Focus... Flounder.

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…

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…

What do you go by on there, since I haven't seen Dog Cow as a name on any messages. Dean Click to expand... I don't post. I just read the news on my site. See this topic: view…

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. Click …

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…
