Guess I need to try again. But I did finally get A2Mini.iso to boot under VirtualBox (after disabling networking and just waiting about 20 secs). Though I have no idea what to do next, and it still seems a bit unstable. It seems easier (to me) to just use a hosted compiler atop Linux, Win32, or DOS. My favorites (at least for very minimal hobbyist hacking) seem to be Oberon-M, Oxford, XDS, and GPO. Actually, I can run all of those under FreeDOS (with HXRT and ReactOS MSVCRT.DLL, if needed)! ;-) -- Keep yourself connected to Go Parallel: TUNE You got it built. Now make it sing.

From: Rugxulo rugx...@gmail.com Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2012 18:53:13 -0600 Which version would you recommend? I've used the last alpha release since it became available. ftp://ftp.ethoberon.ethz.ch/ETHOberon/Native/Update/Alpha/ It has a few bugs. Some solved. http://carnot.yi.org/OberonPage.html Server is down temporarily. Check in a day or two. None of the bugs are serious enough to deter use of the system. My minimal attempts to boot OberonOS were unsuccessful. It's the most trouble free and efficient installation process I've ever tried. It's kind of bitrotted over the years ... What problems do you find? Also emulators always have trouble with less-popular OSes.Any further discussion will fit better here. The release cited above runs on bare hardware. Hence native. If you don't have an old PC already, one should be easily found. Check the disposal area of any educational institution, flea markets, garage sales etc. Further discussion will fit better here. https://lists.inf.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/oberon Regards, ...
