Anyone tried
OS-65D, early disk operating system from Ohio Scientific??
Not
sure about the
hardware dependencies....
Tell me a little about it. Is there source somewhere?
OSI did not release the source. Once upon a time someone I knew in a large
3-letter
computer company disassembled OS65-D over a month or two of watching
football games on TV. He was the kind of guy who needed to keep his mind
busy while watching football..... He eventually got a set of commented
source that would reassemble and run, and we were able to add a new printer
driver to some jump table.
I have no idea if he is still around, and if the source is either. I'll ask
about.
That disassembled OS65D listing had something to do with a big fight that
ended up with the IBM PC having the BIOS LISTING!! in the TechRef.
But that's another story....
