Rémy Gibert is working on a new multitasking OS for the 8-bit enhanced
Apple IIe and has made *quite* a lot of progress, and also has developed a
TCP/IP stack within this OS that can do DHCP and DNS resolution. 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.
