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!

Super freaking awesome idea.... I've always wanted to make my own CAS, but until pedrom it would have been horribly redundant (because TI-OS supplies one), so now what's keeping me? I could just write a RAM program that basically is a math system like the TI calculator home screen, and a BASIC program editor, and more such. The progams would (obviously) still run on TI-OS, but be geared toward PedroM users (since the programs would be redundant for TI-OS users). Sound cool? Anyone want to help? I'll post a more formulated plan on my website sometime soon...

I'm rewriting MLib for PedroM now. Should be fun.
