Acess 2 - First Release

Post by thepowersgang »

Ok, so this release could be a tad premature, but I want to get it announced tonight.

Announcing Acess 2, my primary OS project.
Link - Project Page on my website
Features:
- Ext2 / FAT32,16,12 read support
- ATA DMA driver (doesn't work on VBox for some reason)
- FDD Driver
- Alpha networking support (NE2000 driver, incomplete IP stack)
- Unix based command line interface
- API Documentation (One of the few I believe) - Online Version

It is still a little bit buggy, and there are some things that need cleaning up, but it is usable.
The source code is released into the public domain, however I would appreciate it if you were to credit me if it is directly used in your work, or if it heavily influences your design.

Do you have a downloadable floppy or CD-ROM image?

Unfortunately I was not able to build it from the sources. :(

Sorry about that, the build system is a little touchy atm (it's designed on Ubuntu 9.04 x86).

I've uploaded a floppy image to my site (see the Acess2 page or here). (Sorry, but I can't post it here because the file is too big).
The username is "root", with a blank password.
