FreeDOS on Pineapple!
Tiny86 + Tiny386 is here!, While porting tiny86 to the playstation 2 (PS2 Linux) a few years ago we thought this might be cool to port it to Pineapple for developers. Tiny 86 only emulates 8086 and we're still working on the v86 mode support so we can have a real dos prompt running on the system. it works but its "forked" for the lack of a better word.
- Complete network connectivity built-in
- Only requirement: your own packet driver
- Ready for modern internet integration
- Primary: Watt32 TCP/IP stack
- In development: NetDOS32 library for thread-safe preemptive networking
- Current architecture: Watt32 runs cooperative loop on IRQ0, while kernel and applications
run on IRQ8 @ 8192hz
- Kernel and all applications run on IRQ8 (8192hz hardware interrupts)
- True hardware-based preemption for responsive multitasking
- Separate interrupt context for network operations ensures responsiveness
- Honors the design principles of older systems
- Preserves functionality while adding modern capabilities
- Bridges the gap between retro hardware and contemporary features
