Completely tangential, but have you seen LUnix (Little Unix)? It's actually pretty impressive for something on the C64. Full on preemptive multitasking seems pretty impressive for something as little as the Commodore.

- Shared404 5y agoI hadn't, but I may be trying to rig that up in an emulator later, that seems awesome!
- tombert 5y agoI've only played with it a bit, certainly not enough to make any real definitive statements about it, but I think for what it is it's pretty impressive...stuff like that always makes me wonder why Commodore wasn't more successful [1]. [1] I know LUnix didn't come out until 1993, so it would have been too late to save Commodore, and certainly past the C64's prime. It just demonstrates what the C64 was capable of.
