This is the source code for the OS/A65 multitasking operating system for 6502 computers. It is designed to work with a CS/A65 computer system, but the kernel is completely hardware independent, so that it should be quite easy to port it to other 6502 computers. This file is a gzipped tar archive, since it contains symlinks (which cannot currently be placed into a NuFX archive). The OS/A65 is not believed to be working on Apple II machines at this time.>> Yes...awfully close - but not yet! Seems nobody has bothered to port it to the Apple II just yet. A few people are playing around with doing it - but, so far none of them have released anything. Perhaps -> someday! Cheers, Tom
