trying to be on here more often (again lol)
Back on my BS with my project to make a portable version of Unix V6 (from 1975) with a self-hosted pre-K&R C compiler, that could be released on anything that can at least simulate the memory model
Gonna start on a custom VM written in #Rust, but then port to the #C64 and probably also #ALtair8800!!
You can check out the progress on the
kernelbranch here: https://codeberg.org/popeyeotaku/popix/src/branch/kernelRight now the compiler's almost done, with a bootstrapper compiler written in Rust. I'm about to start booting and bugfixing the kernel as soon as I extend the VM a tad
Still gotta gut the kernel by another several K, and write self-hosted assembler/linker package, and port userland. Also gonna write a custom YACC that uses less RAM
but it's coming along swimmingly!!!
