I should mention that I "ported" Xinu over to the Apple ] [ when I was at uni: I transliterated the C code into assembly and used an external 555 timer to generate the clock ticks. Fun times!

I loved Xinu, it was sort of like the legal Lions book with source code.
And Comer's coding style is pretty similar to mine, simple obvious stuff
for 99% of the code, you only got clever when it was actually important.

It's available at ftp://minnie.tuhs.org/pub/apple2/apple2xinu.tar.gz with
source code, binaries, floopy images and some documentation.
No, it won't run on a real Apple ][ without some work. I actually wrote
it for an Apple clone which had bank-switched RAM and I made use of that
to hide the BASIC ROM and store the OS in the upper 12K. You would also
need to simulate a 10 or 20Hz NMI as well :-)
Cheers,
Warren

Franklin Ace? I had one of those. Probably still do, somewhere.

Well, I usually assume an Apple ][ at least has THAT ability (as any with
at least 64K will) :P, but the NMI issue would be the problem. :/
-uso.

nice! i have the lsi-11 editions (1984) of the xinu approach on my shelf,
up through the linksys edition (2012). i've spent a small fortune on his
books, second only to tanenbaum, i would think. (not a terribly big
stallings fan, but he's certainly prolific.)
