![]() Admitedly it is a doable project to port this great OS to the RPi, and ARM native ports of TOS programs would run blazingly fast (FreeTOS+MiNT+XaAES+TaraDesk is fast on an Atari STE with 8MB ram, a slow HDD, a 16MHz 68000 CPU, etc). Though I can not afford a FireBee, and it does not seem like a good idea to port FreeTOS+FreeMiNT+XaAES+zDesk to the RPi as it would need a CPU emulator to run any of the 680x0 based programs. TOS+MiNT on the FireBee still has the best applications, the best Desktop enviroment, the simplest API to program for, and is more stable than any modern system I have used (excepting some releases of RISC OS ). If there were a modern affordable system that ran a updated version of TOS+MiNT I would still be using a modern GEM (with modern VDI like nVDI, open source AES like XaAES, and one of the better DeskTop applications). ![]() Well the look of GEM survived in the versions licensed by Atari, for the ST, STe, TT, and Falcon computers. ![]() Had to wait until MS released 3.1 before I changed over.ĭigital Research loosing the law suite from Apple for the "look". I could never figure out why Windows 1 could not be as reliable as Gem. ![]() Wooden mouse with encoder wheels to GPIO on Pi? Gavinmc42 wrote:Source for Xerox Alto was published 2014 ![]()
