| UNIX for the TI-92 Plus and a z80 Compiler | Jayhawk |
Calculator nerds have dreamed for years over porting Linux to their calculators. It's been the subject of April Fools jokes and countless message board posts. And while this isn't quite Linux, it's close. Chris Williams announced Puny Unix (Punix) over at ti-news.net. The program is available, along with a screenshot, from the program's project page at ti-news.net. While the author stresses in his post at ti-news.net that it's merely an early version of such an OS, it's a very promising project. He is seeking help developing it, so if you're interested, send him an e-mail and let him know.
In another post at ti-news.net, a user known as shkaboinka has announced a project called Disassemblage. It's a compiler which produces z80 assembly as output and has features of many high level languages such as object oriented programming. A group at Yahoo has been created for discussing and developing the project. The author states the project is nearly complete but is requesting some assistance from the community. As always, if you are able to help, please e-mail him and offer your services. |
