: regarding this thread, there was some time ago a similar talk in the demoscene:
: the demOS project. it would be a 32-bit OS (though not DOS), designed to give
: complete hardware acesss, soundcard drivers, video drivers and a command line
: interface, all to run demos at the fastest possible speed.
: it wasn't released (i guess it wasn't even started), mainly because someone
: realised that noone would install a new OS just to view/code demos.
Yea, I worked on this project for a while... It was a very promising idea
(module driven everything, multitasking, etc.) All the further we had
gotten when I left was a basic kernel and OSLO (OS Loader, like LILO)...
Oh well...
PS - I didn't know anybody in this group other than McGugan and myself
demo enthusiasts... What's your nick/group if you have one?
