Oh, hey, look! Another todo list!

  • TBOS 1.1: FIREY ANVIL r0, hash 0.4
  • TBOS 1.2: multiuserness fixed, FIREY ANVIL r1
  • TBOS 1.3: hash 1.0 (oooh, colours)
  • ........
  • TBOS 2.0: some simple cross-compiler (probably BASIC)

I appear to have a new plan.

I've started re-implementing FIREY ANVIL (which was lost after a complete TBOS failure scare that turned out to be a bad segment register) and it should be done and in Python) to make FIREY ANVIL entries for TBOS files.

The kernel and loader must stay FAT files, as I don't think I could write FIREY ANVIL routines in the three or four bytes the boot sector has left :P

Ahh well, off to school.

WHOA!



[TroyMartin] my plan is as follows: rewrite part of the FAT12 code for 1.2, then write a nice little FS in 1.3
<pc[work]> ah nice
[TroyMartin] I was also thinking of having the special FS be the main TBOS filesystem, just using FAT12 as a "container" of sorts
[TroyMartin] FAT12 doesn't really do much justice :D



A little snippet from a discussion in #pedigree on freenode. In all honesty, I don't like Microsloth's FATty file system, and I originally intended to use something completely different, but FAT stuck with the history of TBOS.

Whatever the TBOS filesystem will be called (the codename is Firey Anvil), I plan to use FAT12 as a container for either Firey Anvil files or the filesystem itself. I'll be uploading spec sheets as I write them.
