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. 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)

**** Documentation WANTED ****

Is there anybody who could provide "appletalk programmer's guide for the apple ii" ?
(Needed for KM.ATLK and AT commands development)

**** Developers WANTED ****

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