# A2osX
Multi-Tasking OS for Apple II  
![](https://github.com/burniouf/A2osX/blob/master/ScreenShot.LS.bmp)
![](https://github.com/burniouf/A2osX/blob/master/ScreenShot.EDIT.bmp)
## 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.
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 ****
