@asdil12 Yes. In December last year I made work on Zed Pro with RomWBW 3.4. The necessary change is merged upstream. Also SC111 did work back then. All locally compiled. The released images used to not work for me.

I now have the C compiler passing most tests on the INS807x processors - possibly the most annoying instruction set yet. I am still trying to find the willpower to write the 32bit division and debug it which should then get the point all the tests run.

To be fair I've yet to tackle the 6502 support library seriously so there's probably still a candidate for even more annoying than 807x.

En cherchant quoi faire de mon mc68008 j'ai commencé à dessiner une platine pour aller autour.
C'est encore très préliminaire.
J'avais commencé avec des composants classiques et au final je me retrouve avec une majorité de composants CMS. Il y a un CPLD pour remplacer toute la petite logique (le gros avantage étant qu'en cas d'erreur il suffit de corriger le fichier Verilog, beaucoup plus rapide que de refaire un PCB).
Pour l'instant ce n'est qu'un dessin #Kicad mais si je me lance là dedans ça ferait une bonne carte pour #cpm68k ou #fuzix

Bizzare Unix semantics question. Given the parent of init is init (getppid(() of pid 1 is 1) is init the child of init, and if only init is running what is the correct return from wait(NULL);

Believe it or not I actually found a case it matters in my Fuzix init today and having read various docs I'm really not sure what the answer is. ECHILD or blocking ?

Fuzix C now supports 6800 including floats. Credit almost entirely to Zu2 (zukeran.org/shin/d/) who turned it from some draft code in the 6803 backend into working 6800, fixed other bugs and got the floating point working properly.

The Z8 -Os output is now hugely smaller. DG Nova and Nova3 are passing the basic tests but still shaking out the odd word addressing bug so it's back to 6502 work and (as someone said it wasn't possible ;-) ) DDP516

@saustrup <rant>I was knee deep in this and *fully* appreciate the limitation of the 8-bit area, especially memory, but it was 100% technically possible to have a preemptive multitasking OS even with those limitations (eg, #fuzix fuzix.org/) and I decry the short sighed money drones that pushed the pile of garbage that was the 8088 and MS-DOS upon us. Better options existed even then for both SW and HW.</rant>

Deeply greatful for the limitations of the Nascom2 as it taught me much
