How about building a machine to run TempleOS natively? The crazy guy who wrote it says explicitly that the OS was meant to implement the commodore 64 ideal of one big flat address space and no memory protection, everything is rung 0, no protected io, etc.
- ashleyn 8y agoI'm glad to know I'm not the only one with this engineer's nostalgia for the kind of systems I first learned everything on. When Terry compares TempleOS's design inspirations to the C64, I know exactly where he's coming from. I've thought once or twice about writing a 64-bit DOS in Rust but just couldn't justify the time and trouble.

- bencollier49 8y agoBuy yourself a Raspberry Pi and install RISC OS (Full or Pico version, depending on whether you want a GUI or not). It runs BBC BASIC, so it can run old school type ins and has an inline assembler and modern hires graphics.
- boomlinde 8y agoDoesn't TempleOS already run natively on a rather bare x86-64 PC?
