A85: DOOMSDAY HORIZONS 85: The OS to end all OS's. (DH85)
Ok guys, this message is in reply to a few of
the last messsages posted about the new OS.
My subject line contains my nomination for the
name of this new OS: Doomsday Horizons 85. I
got the Horizons part from a name I was considering for nomination prior
to DorkReMe's message concering the Doomsday Shell.
Brilliant!! I think you meant it a bit differently than i have in mind for
my nomination's explaination, but here it is: Well, the 85 was dying
out as a viable programming platform, as the thread that sparked the OS in the
first place was concerned about. But, it isnt coming to pass just yet, or
wont if we get this Os out and good. But it still ay come soon.
Doomsday is the day that will see the end of the Viablity of the 85 calc.
Right now, it is in the Horizon. Kind of dumb, but who
cares!!
Now, in my responses to some of the posts.
From DorkReMi:
ZShell support? Yes. and Usgard
too. (what do you mean by
Scripted????)
E2 dynamic access? Yes. Like a hard drive but cheaper,
and smaller (and
less
writes:( but it will require that we write some new driver
stuff. This will
be part of the basis
for the OS Kernal.
Luanch apps from e2? Yes. This is the major point of the
OS!
From TGaArdvark:
Expander
Blocked into RAM? Yes. This is main disk drive
theory. Load disk
block
to RAM, modify it/use it/write it back to disk. This goes back to the
Hard
Drive likeness of the E2 ( see above).
From DorkReMi:
E2
harddrive and calc's RAM is like mini-computer RAM?
Absolutley!!! This
is,
again, the OS's main point. (!!!!) With this OS, the 85 will become
an
actual classic type computer, instead of just a
microcontroller/calculator.
No Read
Limit. YES!! This is good!! I had HOPED SO!! but
wasnt sure if the
access to it was limited to whatever number of writes or reads. (the
hardware
guys
can be very confusing!)
You are Definitely ON THE
DOT!!!!!
I have some pictures of RAM states that help explain some of
the OS's operations.
I will post them when i draw them on the computer.
P.S. Whoever drew the block diagram: Try and post
it, so we can anylize and modify them to death. That is the way programs
are designed the best. WE need them. Try to get them to under the
whateverKB limit.
