EmuTOS 0.9.7
2016-11-23:
A new version of our Open-Source Operating System is available.
As we already announced on the mailing list, a new version of the alternative Open-Source operating system for Atari platforms has recently been released. EmuTOS will continue to be improved, and the team around Roger Burrows has once again done a great job. Besides the "small bugfixes" there are 58 new functions and larger fixes in this new release! FireBee owners will directly benefit from many of these improvements. Some good examples would be the new, extended MBR partitions or the independently runnable version of EmuCON2.
As always, EmuTOS will be flashed into the ROM of the FireBee with flash_cf.prg, and can then either be used as the completely independent standard OS by selecting it through the DIP-switches; or by selecting it in the boot menu of FireTOS (then it can also use the USB-drivers of FireTOS).
EmuTOS is a pure ColdFire operating system, so it will harness the full power of the V4e processor. This is especially interesting for a ColdFire FreeMiNT multitasking system - the combination preferred by most "Unixophile" FireBee open-source users and developers.
The package "emutos-firebee-0.9.7.zip" with the new operating system can be downloaded from the SourceForge pages of the project.
