There is also a screen editor and an assembler. Everything is done in assembly language. He has put out a call for assembly language developers. If you have an enhanced IIe, a IIc, or a IIgs, you can also help by running the system on your machine (not emulator) and reporting what works and what doesn't. Take a look at the project here: https://github.com/burniouf/A2osX Download the boot disk here and test it out on real hardware: https://github.com/burniouf/A2osX/blob/master/A2OSX.BOOT.po He will welcome your feedback about what works and what doesn't work. We are currently testing the RamWorks III driver. It's having problems detecting the RamWorks and the total number of banks on my platinum Apple IIe. Please take some time to boot the system and hold down Open-Apple while booting to see whether the RamWorks card was detected or not on your hardware. -- ]DF$ The Marina IP stack for Apple II-- http://marina.a2hq.com/
