Visopsys is an alternative hobby operating system for PC compatible computers. This is a maintenance release, with numerous small improvements and bugfixes. The kernel’s file handling has been re-engineered, and the memory usage reporting tools have been enhanced. The Disk Manager once again reports correct disk sizes in megabytes. A file copying bug has been fixed. A number of unnecessary files and programs have been removed. A couple of small but potentially critical bits of the boot code have been refined.

They want their website back.
On a more serious note, looks like a neat little hobby OS. Good job.
Just wanted to mention: stories on obscure OSes (that I would otherwise never know about) is one of the main reasons I tune in to OSnews. Thanks, guys.
I never would have heard about Syllable or SkyOS if it wasn’t for this site.
I downloaded the floppy disk version to see what it was like but I just got a blank screen, I don’t think it even loaded.
I’m not sure what to make of it, I suppose I should have pressed a key to see what would happen but I had other things to do and didn’t have enough time to tinker with it yet.
If anyone else tries it I would like to know what to expect during the boot process so hopefully I’ll be able to tell next time whether its working or not. Right now all I know is that it doesn’t seem to work on my computer.
When you show your own hobby OS to the public you earn the right to make smartass remarks about someone else’s, not before.
Hello, thanks to all for checking it out.
I downloaded the floppy disk version to see what it was like but I just got a blank screen, I don’t think it even loaded.
Thanks very much for catching this; The floppy disk image that I had uploaded was broken. I’ve rebuilt it and placed the new one on the site, at the same URL. Hopefully you’ll have a better time if you get the chance to try it again!
Cheers,
Andy
Great work Andy!
