I usually just lurk, and absorb any info I need by reading. but at times like this I think more than just me would make this process of figuring out this OS easier. and, to the one who said why bother. Look at it like this. If you have ever seen this OS running you would know how fluid it is. Yes is is only made for one or two chipsets. but this thing boots in like one second flat. there is NO wait to load this or that, just BAM its running. Now just suppose that this IS just a Stripped down DOS Kernel with only the needed driver support, just think of what could be done as far as custom DMAME os'es or something like that. once you figure out how it works, the next step would be to "clone" that OS but add newer Drivers specific to your board only. and..... again stupid fast boot / load times. I am just thinking outloud here, mind you one of the main reasons is to just see what it actually is. is it DOS or FreeBSD, Linux, ???? If anyone has heard of Quantum3D and know some of the things these people have done, one thing you might find interesting is that they had there own OS also, called SapphireOS. I think that Joshua is a tweeked version of that OS. But I have not been able to track down a copy of that to compair t to. I will be calling them again and try to find someone that knows about that OS. Last time it was the old, man that is OLD and unsupported stuff you have there story. :banghead: |

I say support the guy digging into it. Tell me you guys wouldn't find it hiliarious if he uncovered license violations in the product. |
