Hi,

I have finished the first version of my OS :D

Named Pocket OS, it is similar to DOS (single task, but allow smp)

If somebody is interrested to test it, it can be dowload at

I wanted to add it in OS project list but don't know how to do this.

Cheers,
Pierre

Nice OS ;) I tried it on my laptop, it works fine.
May you provide an English version of the keyboard map?
It is very hard to guess the position of the keys ;)

Thank you Karlosoft for testing

I will add keyboard maps asap.

English keyboard is default if no maps loaded.

You can comment "keyb keymap/keyb_fr.map" in autoexec.sh (I forgot to do it in the default version)

It's a very interesting operating system you have. Very simple operating systems are always the best... :D
Keep up the good work!

yes, you need a 16 Mb pocket :wink:
How long have you worked on it?
a too long time ;-)
I have started it one year ago, and spent all my evenings and some nights ;-)
