# A2osX
Multi-Tasking OS for Apple II
## Requires :
Enhanced IIe (65c02 cpu) with 128k, //c, IIgs

## General Information:  
  
Kernel 0.8 is out.
It is confined in Aux LC Bank 1 & 2 to leave enough room at $EOOO for Drivers.
Now, Network drivers, Mouse, DHGR.DRV can load and fit in Aux LC.
Now it's time to make all external BINs use new API, then GUI development will resume.
  
**A2OSX.BOOT.po** : 140k A2osX boot disk with all binaries  
**A2OSX.DEV.po**  : 140k A2osX disk with ASM binaries, Debug Tools & INClude files  
**A2OSX.SRC.po**  : 800k S-C MASM boot disk with all sources  
  
OApple+1,OApple+2,OApple+3 to switch between screens : Kernel Log, text, DHGR.  
(OApple+shift+1,OApple+shift+2,OApple+shift+3 on FR keyboard)  
  
### **** Developers WANTED ****  

!!! Help on writing this code should be greatly appreciated !!!
