  Sapphire OS
posted by Nitro on 2nd May 2006


Progress is slow but alive. This month I've been reviewing sources for Emutos (an open source Tos clone), and want to try to work it into the system to run re-compiled classic Atari programs. I hope to combine the best elements of GemDos, Emutos, and OpenGem/XM. This would also make it possible to port PC Dos programs. After all Atari Tos is made up of PC GemDos and Gem. Since the system is made up with GEM, I decided to name the project Sapphire OS. The project name is subject to change (be there another system with that name).
