Would a CD drive connected to an Atom interface
be able to read a PC CD full of DSKs?

Why don't we look at porting a new OS of some sort. This is one of the
things that was mentioned when Dave was on this list inspiring people.
Howzabout GEMDOS or one of the embedded UNIX kernels like ELKS

hmmm... seems to be a bad url..
If I remember rightly, I don't think I liked GemDos when I last used it on a
PC. Or am I thinking of something else?
Didn't someone once say they were going to try to port Minix to the SAM?
Jarek, maybe?

Hmmm.. could be an interesting project. but the 8086/88 and SIBO are both
16bit processors...

GEMDOS was used on the ST and you could stick GEM on top of it. It was
written by the same peeps as CPM. Wasn't bad but doesn't Multitask (in
its orignal form on the ST) but
ELKS it's mostly in C, I believe. looking at the FAQ, it seems to be a
subset of the normal Linux Kernel.

This is true - but doesn't mean that it's impossible. I think on the web
site it mentions Z80

This is true - but doesn't mean that it's impossible. I think on the web

All the Operating Systems mentioned are in C but have some Assembly code

Cross compilation into Z80 - what about SDCC, but
I must've missed the bit about a Z80 port since I only had a quick look at
the website.
And you are correct, unix was available on 8-bit machines. I think Minix was
one of them.
Kind of ironic really: 8bit Minix--Linux--ELKS--8bit ELKS.

Yes.. I was just thinking that myself... I'll be up for helping, I think --
once I got my home linux system up and running on my lowly 486.
I did start with thinking about SAM support libs and headers on CP/M's
Hitech C but it never took off.

That's cool! There shouldn't be too much trouble in knocking up SAM
parts
for it!
what's the URL for z88dk? I'll check it out later...
Excellent... it sounds like it could be pretty useful. it sounds like it has
a pretty extensive Speccy library. Maybe some of us should get our heads
together to do a SAM library for it? Who's up for a challenge? :)

I also notice on the z88dk web site that there is a TCP/IP stack in
development - ZSock. Could also be useful. Dave mentioned that before he
left when talking about his browser port idea.

So with the talk about the cross compiler project underway, what do people

Is there anything that is gaining popularity on other

With knowledge of previous big projects done on the list, I think we should
stick with the cross-compiler libraries, first - and decide on the OS later.

We should find a unix-y (if we're going that way) OS that has a lot of Z80
