[Coco] NitrOS9 Sources

[Mark Marlette]

Bill,

I am sure this is not going to be the response you want to hear but.....This is from my POV.

The Cloud-9 distribution, could be placed in to the NitrOS-9distribution. The only items are the descriptors at this point and they are in the current version bootlist path on your CF. Priority issue again for me. Work on updating a free distribution or actually work on getting products to customers that have paid for their products. I understand what you are saying.

Focus has been all hardware...I guess you could add, and the firmware that goes with it.

All the CLOUD-9 descriptors are in a separate CLOUD-9 directory of the repo.

Regards,

Mark

Two questions this time.

I have been perusing the source tree.  I see none of the Cloud9
hardware in there.  Is this deliberate?  Does Cloud9 not make it
available?  Not being critical as I am one of the strongest
supporters of IP you are likely to find.  Just wondered because
I have some of their hardware and will likely have more and I
do plan to do some playing with the sources.

And the second....  Everything is in assembler.  Is this also
deliberate?  Is it for maximum efficiency?  Is it philosophical?
Is it political? :-) Has any thought ever been given to re-writting
some/most/all of it in a higher level language (like C :-) and
making it portable to other platforms, much like what MicroWare
did when they developed OS9000?
