Well for the obvious reason of the Pegasos 2 being discontinued, I am looking more towards the releasing the beta versions of SapphireOS for the Efika. The Efika version will have main priority. At this time the Pegasos 2 is my only development machine, but I feel the focus should be directed towards the future hardware like the Efika, and the Pegasos 3. I would like to do a Pegasos 3 version, but it depends on how much Sapphire OS matures. I currently work full time for the US ARMY and I attend IT classes with University of Phoenix, but I am hoping to get more done when I have my school break in December and get a release out afterwards.
There have been some questions about SapphireOS, so here goes.
I’m using sources from OpenGEM XM which is multi-tasking combined with FreeDOS-32, and EMUTOS. This is a 32-bit multi-tasking operating system.
