Looking for a thread about launching different programs from sd card

Somewhere on here recently I happened across a discussion involving launching different programs stored on sd card as eeprom type files but I can't seem to find it.

I wanted to play around with this concept. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

Thanks.
Don

    Kye's SD card driver includes the ability to load and run an SD card file. FemtoBasic and its cousins have this feature as well. The SD card I/O drivers there (fsrwfemto.spin & sdspifemto.spin) can be easily incorporated into your program as well as Kye's driver.

    Kyedos is one of the programs. http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php/128779-KyeDOS-an-operating-system-for-the-Propeller?highlight=kyedos

    Original version was for VGA and then further down the thread is a post for a TV version.

    Some of the objects in the zip may be out of date but in general terms, you can get the latest versions of TV, VGA, SD driver, serial driver and glue them together with this code for an operating system.

    Thanks Mike & Doc.

    I was thinking it was in the form of a tutorial or programming example (not the app note you posted Mike). It was in the last several weeks. I prefer to use FSRW but maybe I can look at the method used in Kye's object and see if I can make it work with FSRW.
