Re: ProDOS...



If I'm going to restart this project, then I'll create a website for it in a
few weeks. For the next 2 weeks, I have some serious business to take care
of, but after that I should be able to get back to the fun stuff.

As a not for future discussion:

Unser AEOS, the first 2 64K banks of memory (Main and Aux0) are reserved to
the OS. All applications run in pages Aux1+. The key to the cooperative
multitasking is that any OS call can causes a task switch. Since most
programs will spend the majority of their time processing keystrokes, this
makes sense(at least to me). A program should call the OS to get keystrokes
since the keystrokes may not be comming from the keyboard.

Is this just a pipe dream, or am I to assume that I will have some help
designing this when I put up the website?
