I’m currently having some minor “it’s not working” problems with my very complicated computer setup and am also trying to prioritise getting to a doctor and getting a better chair. I don’t think I’ve lost any recent work between malfunctions though and I aim to be back to work within a month or so.
I’ll be dropping the DOS reference in REFDOS (RD) for reasons but haven’t finalised a new name. There will also be some changes in direction along with or after the rebrand:
- Maybe looking at incorporating a custom processor architecture & using FPGAs as the main target (this could lessen the need for excessive driver work and also help spread the RISC, so to speak)
- Will do some more work on marketing & finding a niche (maybe education or maybe robotics etc.)
- Will decide what to do about a graphics subystem
- May look at open-sourcing some components (maybe the whole OS, we’ll see)
There will be more to come too in time like maybe an online package repository and easily installable versions of compilers etc.
