-
- This is the announcement for OS/A65 version 1.3.5e
-
- OS/A65 is a multitasking/multithreading Operating system for 6502
- computers. It runs on systems with (74ls610) MMU and on systems
- without. Most notably and new in this version the good 'ol C64!
-
- Some of it's features are:
-
- - preemptive multitasking (as far as tasks behave well and don't do SEI)
-
- - microkernel design - hardware dependence (nearly) completely in device
- drivers
-
- - comes with filesystem drivers for CBM parallel and serial IEC bus
- (although the C64 serial bus is not tested, as I have no C64 around
- at the moment)
-
- - filesystem for IBM-PC style diskettes (several formats, 12 bit FAT)
-
- - shell with pipes and I/O redirection.
-
-
- You can find all of it on this WWW page:

- --------------------------------------
-
- Well, there still are glitches, but the system itself is stable.
- I will not do any development any more, as my interests have moved,
- but I will gladly receive patches, fixes, ideas,...
-
- See you
- Andre
