Hi, MSXers.
If you thought that UZIX project was dead, you're wrong.
UZIX page got a major update.
Here are the news:
- New site layout
To handle the news of the project.
- Site update
Including project status, introduction and how-to texts and
installation and Internet connection guides.
- Updated UZIX 1.0 installation programs
Small changes to make it easier installing UZIX on a MSX that
doesn't use partitioning scheme.
- C compiler targeted for UZIX
Tired of programming for a monotask and monouser system?
Now the Hitech-C compiler is available with UZIX libraries
(standard, math and TCP/IP), so you can compile applications for UZIX
1.0 and 2.0. Besides a guide about creating UZIX application , is also
available MSXDOS, MS-DOS and Linux versions of the compiler.
- UZIX 0.2.0
Finally the new version of the unique UNIX operating system for
MSX is available, with all features and applications of UZIX 1.0 and,
yet, new features:
* direct access to floppy drive on MSX Turbo-R;
Faster access (and no more problems) with floppy disks in MSX
Turbo-R .
* kernel support to RS232 interfaces;
Allowing RS232 access even using the shell.
* Sunrise RS232 and ACCNET support;
Throw away your Gradiente TM-2 modem and buy NOW your Sunrise
RS232 interface or ACCNET and access Internet at 56Kbps! (no, I'm not
being paid by Sunrise or HNostar for the marketing)
* intelligent memory utilization;
Dynamic memory allocation for processes, allowing applications
to use from only 16kb to 48kb of linear memory. More powerful
applications and more efficient memory utilization, allowing UZIX to
run on a MSX2 with 128kb RAM or on a MSX Turbo-R with 4096kb RAM (no,
UZIX 2.0 does not work - and will not - on a MSX1).
* virtual terminals;
Would you like to make two things at the same time on your
MSX? Three? Would you like to have two, three MSX running at the same
time and sharing the same HD/floppy/RS232/etc? Duplicate, triplicate,
multiply your work on MSX! Now UZIX has virtual terminals: you have
virtual monitors on your MSX, easily accessible by GRAPH+Fn keys!
- FudeBrowZer 1.2
UZIX 2.0 version of FudeBrowZer. It has the same functionality
of version 1.1 (for UZIX 1.0), but also has dynamic WILD server
selection.
- Extra applications for UZIX 2.0
Using DOS emulation, some applications, not available on UZIX,
as an example, were ported, expanding (more) the usage of the system:
PMARC, PMEXT, XARJ, UNPMA, MED (ASCII's text editor), MBASIC and
Microsoft Multiplan.
Check the screenshots of UZIX at the site. The installation
package and the diskimage are also available.
