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!

I loaded this up into VTI, fiddled with it, and must say that I am absolutely amazed. I have no doubt that Patrick Pelissier's name will soon become as well-known as that of Thomas Nussbaumer, Rusty Wagner and the like.

This is really cool! too bad you said there were limitations on the calc for stable multitaksing. :(
I was just wondering, is it legal to use this with vti if you don't own any of the 68k calcs?
