Casnix OS/II Released

Post by casnix »

Casnix OS/II is a Prototype OS of what DOS *might* have been if not rushed into the GUI era. Written in x86-64 assembly, nasm, it has a TUI without mouse support, but does havr an implementation of floppy disk software, similar to the autoexec.bat (or autorun.inf). Purposed to be a cross between educational, hobby, and 'my kids first computer' OS. Casnix 3 will be unix, and modern(ish).

I tried it but there are a lot of bugs. I have many problems in loading more than one application without restarting all the machine, and sometimes the screen is filled in with strange characters.

Except these problems it gives me a nice retro impression like Mikos :)

it cant multi task (real mode), and sometimes, depending on the host machine, it spews the ascii representation of binary int the memory. I havent figured out why...'cause on one machine it's perfect. on another, notpad wont save....Probabbly yhe compiling process (this changes with OS 3). But thank you

[Edit]: Casnix was originally based off MikeOS, but I had to change this in OS/II to allow for some certain functions

Given that the shell, editor, FAT12 driver, BASIC interpreter, file manager, core kernel code and most system calls are all MikeOS, you really shouldn't remove all copyright notices and the MikeOS license :-)

For the record, TroyMartin is permbanned and shares quite a few traits (including several bad ones, I might add) with you and I can imagine a moderator trying to probe you if you are faking a new identity or not. If you are the real Troy, you'd know the consequences of ban evading.
