Intellivision Operating System Revealed

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday June 25, 2003 @08:43AM from the never-too-late-for-an-os-update dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the IntyOS site, which has released Version 0.2 Alpha of a "multitasked operating system for the Intellivision console." According to the site, IntyOS "..includes a powerful GUI which handles a mouse pointer, windows, menus, icons, etc", and was "..written from scratch in CP-1600 assembly language in order to fit exactly to the hardware specificities of the Intellivision. Its main goal is now to see how far it's possible to go with today's technologies on such a limited system from the early 80's" There's also a site mirror available, and the demo ROM is viewable in a Java applet.

Well, I hope they don't use any GNU code in it, otherwise Richard Stallman will cause a stink unless they call it GNU/IntyOS.
