PedroM 68k OS Released
Posted by Michael on 10 December 2003, 23:21 GMT
Patrick Pelissier, author of PreOS and other fine 68k programs, has written the first third-party operating system for the 68k calcs. The open-source PedroM looks like a Unix shell, has task switching and a much smaller size (only 192 KB). It is designed to be compatible with the AMS 1.xx series. In order to include this OS in our archives, we have added categories for TI-89 Operating Systems, TI-92 Plus Operating Systems, and Voyage 200 Operating Systems. Morgan has also been fixing up the TI-83 Plus Flash directory into subcategories of games, science, math, et cetera. New submissions should no longer go into the general Flash category but rather one of these new subcategories. Update (Michael): We are currently being Slashdotted, but holding up just fine because HTTP requests are load-balanced among our Beowulf cluster of 2000 TI-85s. Bring it on!

Well I was all ready to say this was really cool but my game(freecell) dosent work on it correctly, so I will have to wait a little longer before removing AMS1.00 from my calc.

If you don't know much about how a unix/linux system works...I added animated screenshots to the two file showing the basics of how to list what files you have, execute the files, how to remove a file and some proof that it does do basic math.

By the way, it is released under GPL, not only Open-Source. See the URL above for more explanation.
