Cool! I have a friend who's designing his own 'con-CPU.' I've thought about
it before, but wasn't all that interested in the idea. Now operating systems
I can get into designing... It's just that the OS I've been dreaming up on
and off I was originally going to do on a Commodore 128, but now I don't
remember enough Commodore programming to do it, plus my Commodores aren't
much in working order and emulators can be tricky, plus several people have
already come out with multitasking OSes for Commodores, plus the name I was
going to use for it (ECOS) has been taken, etc. *Sigh*. Oh well, it's still
fun to think of things even if I never program them :)
