6502 Multitasking OS announce



                            OS/A65
                            ------

This is the announcement of "OS/A65", a 6502 CPU operating system
I wrote some time ago and which I now put on the Web. It is
copyrighted under the GNU public license.

Some of its features are:

 - preemptive multitasking

 - (kind of) microkernel design

 - filesystems for PC FAT disks and CBM floppy drives on a IEEE488 interface

 - runs on 6502 computer with and without MMU

 - developed on a selfdesigned and -built 6502 computer


If someone is really interested in, I can also write an article for
a publication or so about it. But, well, 8 bit times are gone...

I'm coming from the Commordore world, not from atari (8bit) nor apple side.
The hardware is close to CBM3032 compatible, but the kernel itself is
completely hardware independent. So just the device drivers have to 
be rewritten for porting it to another platform. 

It is a good machine/OS to do some small control tasks,
where you can watch them from another shell...
My computer controls my audio equipment via infrared signals ;-)

Well, if you are interested in, here is it's homepage:
