A disk operating system for commodore 64/128.
This project attempts to make a disk volume of useful system software for a c64/c128 system, to complement ROM based software normally used on these systems. It is meant to be somewhat analogous to 'system disk' found on other systems. It makes a commodore work say more like CP/M while retaining compatibility with most legacy software.
It currently includes:
- A boot loader to set colors and autoboot programs in appropriate mode (c64 or c128)
- An interactive setup utility to configure the bootloader
- A suite of tools including shell/monitor program kmon and file utility pip. These are separate for c64 and c128 mode, so you can take advantage of c128 features like faster disks.
- driver/editor to use c128 VDC chip in c64 mode, providing 80 columns support
- a set of useful third party programs, such as drivers, languages, editors, etc. These come mostly from commodore sources.
Makefile builds 1541, 1571 and 1581 disk images. 1581 Jiffydos is recommended.
Rebuild with:
$ make clean disks
Start with:
$ x128 run64.d81
Or write the image to disk to run on actual hardware.
