Keep it coming.... :-) > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-cc65_at_musoftware.de [mailto:owner-cc65_at_musoftware.de] On Behalf > Of Adam Dunkels > Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 8:56 AM > To: cc65_at_musoftware.de > Subject: [cc65] The Contiki Desktop OS for cc65 > > Hi cc65 people! > > I am very glad to be able to present the first version of the > cross-platform, open-source, Internet-enabled Contiki operating system > and desktop environment for cc65.

Contiki does not require a disk drive or any other form of > mass-storage devices, which means that it is useful both for disk > drive owners and tape users.

The VIC-20 port has been made in cooperation with Anders > Carlsson, the Atari 8-bit port in cooperation with Christian > Groessler, and the NES port together with Groepaz/Hitmen. Chris Morse > is currently working on the Apple ][ port and Matthias Domin is > working on the Atari Jaguar port. Lawrence Chitty is working on PPP > support and on porting Contiki to the Sharp Wizard PDA, Fabio Fumi is > porting selected parts of Contiki to the Casio PocketViewer, and James > Dessart is porting Contiki to the Tandy CoCo. Mikael Backlund has > drawn the Contiki desktop icons.
