notes
|
The disk images work with vmware. They should also work if you write them out to a floppy/CD or used them with another emulator.
usage
- For using a real floppy, copy the image onto the floppy using rawwrite, or a similar utility.
- Boot from floppy. Select the os from the menu.
- Press "g" twice when the L4 debugger prompt comes up. (Hey, it's a devel build. ;)
- Normal IoVM CLI.
known issues
- A lot of IoNumber, IoFile, and IoDate are missing.
- The prompt gets mangled at the CLI.
- Due to where I load the Io image, the machine must have at least
64 meg of RAM.
The actuall OS itself consumes way less than this.
limitations
- Max stack depth of 64k
- Max heap size of 16 MB.
platforms
With regards to PPC. I'd need to setup a L4 devel enviorment on my iBook
and build. Should Just Work(TM) though since we aren't accessing any of
the hardware directly (Yet). Due to a few assumptuions I made, it'll
break on 64bit right now though. (Easy to fix.)
