life extension of old computers thanks to opensource Contiki

[big_d_316@yahoo.com]

How many people out there believe that life of old 8-bit systems and
old 16-bit systems life will be spared because of Contiki? I believe
this OS is the answer that all 8-bitters have been looking for. I think
it offers more than just TCP/IP to old systems. It is a common ground
for all 8-bit systems all the way from Z80 to 6502, a place where new
apps can be ported from one system to another with little modification.
I hope in the future we can see it grow. Maybe see the GUI abilities
advance on systems like the Atari, C-128 and Apple. See a version be
ported to run on a 32k TS-1000 with 1541 floppy drive. An apple IIGS
native version. and add in modules and drivers to take advantage of
home brew upgrades on 8-bit systems like CF cards and ram upgrades,
video tweaks, or accelerators. Or maybe versions that would run on old
CP/M computers like Northstar, or even Altair. How about include single
board computers like Apple 1 or Cosmac ELF? The future of 8-bit
computers is still wide open, and it is nice to see an OS like Contiki
to make them sore. So programmers develope for it, and make it grand.
Users, use it, and reap from it's benefits.
