Syllable, AtheOS Reportedly, Kurt Skauen hasn't work on AtheOS for the last 9 months, as he currently taking some long vacations away from his pet project. All this time, a lot of dissapointments have been expressed in the (dying) mailing list about the future of AtheOS, already a (semi-)fork has occured with Cosmoe, but still no word from Kurt if or when he will start working on AtheOS again. Update: It seems that a complete fork has already happen, created by some of the main third party AtheOS developers.

IDE Driver
by shrub34 on Mon 15th Jul 2002 13:47 UTC

I was going to tackle the DMA part of the IDE driver, adding to William Rose's code base, but I didn't have a second computer to debug. I will help tackle the development, if someone is willing to donate a computer for Serial line debug output. ;)

I will say, for those that are driver writers, the code is very nice C++ that is easy to extend and those that no more about DMA and ATA might have a quicker time improving the IDE Driver than I would have. (Hooooo. The possiblility of a Disk Virtual Memory.)
