Original announcment of Symbiosys

Over the past year my associate(cjb) and I have interfaced an IDE hard disk unit to the classic Synertek SYM-1 and written a DOS to maintain the files. It is entering the phase in it's development where it has become quite useful and I wondered if there was anyone out there who was interested in such a thing.

Certainly an adequately functional release package could be prepared very rapidly now so if anyone were to be in a position to want to try it then posting interest here would certainly motivate me to get it out there.

If anyone even has any academic interest at all about it I can post far more details.

I have named it Symbiosys and have made a mission objective that it be at least as good as CP/M and it very nearly is, certainly some aspects already exceed CP/M functionality.

Porting Symbiosys to other platforms & CPU's is also an intended objective.

A twitter stream has been established for real time communication for this project and the release information http://twitter.com/sym_biosys

we have been publishing our work at http://tinyurl.com/symdev but should anyone ever be interested in using it posts should be made as the final release package and explanations of it's installation and operation need to be made.
