- A friend and I were talking about kul Macintosh stuff. I have just
- recently learned how to hack the Mac and I find that the tool box is sota
- nifty. My background is programming in C under Unix, so the one problem I
- have with the Mac is it's lack of a "real" operating system.
-
- Thusly:
-
- There are Mach implementations for the Macintosh. Could someone describe
- how these interface with the rest of the Mac system, especially the
- Toolbox routines?
-
- What about A/UX?
-
- It semms to me that the ideal Macintosh would be to take the Mach
- microkernel (3.0), and then port the Toolbox routines to sit on top of
- that. You would get all the benefits of real memory protection, VM,
- messages, etc. etc. Is this possible?
-
- Thanks in advance for any comments (email, please)
- -Jon.
