    @tpw_man - Are you still working on SuperDOS, or are you on to other projects?· It looked great so far.·
    I would be interested in seeing the source if you don't plan on finishing it.

    What exactly does SuperDOS do? I thought I'd give it a try but I have no idea where to start or what to expect!

    What SuperDOS does is equivalent to MS-DOS. It runs programs in a shell, and provides them with standard stuff that they would need like sd/tv/kb. Writing programs is very simple, and does not need much customization.

    I see, and very cool!

    I got the installer to run, but superdos.bin does not. I assume it's hardcoded for a 5 MHz crystal, which my board does not have.
    Will you be releasing an updated installer to modify clock frequency as well as pin assignments?

    Meanwhile, how does a program running under SuperDOS access sd/tv/kb functionality?

    Hello

    ware would a person get a copy of SuperDos for the prop. with a little documentation this seems like an answer to a lot of problems for me. I just dont have a lot of time to learn spin or asm as of yet. Any help would be useful. I am googleing for it now.

    The Installer ZIP archive is in the first post. The installer helps you configure the pins, install software packages, and program the EEPROM.

    What about configuring clock speed? I tried patching superdos.bin by hand, but apparently my 1337 haxxing skillz were not up to par.
    And I'll second Badger's request for documentation.

    Don't leave us in the lurch here! Save us, tpw_man!

    We have a script parser if it helps, been calling it NOSIC lately. I'll post it if it's on topic.

    How hard would it be to add directory support, or even just pseudo directory suport like was being talked about for propdos here: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=731255.

    @tpw_man
    I know you had said that it runs things in a shell and is staying resident, so are you using a COGNEW to invoke the code, or are you doing something like PropDOS, where the file is opened from the SD card, and is then rebooted, but are retaining the SuperDOS 'resident' code somewhere in memory (mimicing how DOS TSR's work)? Just curious.
