= GeckOS Operating System for the 6502 processor (c) 1989-2024 A. Fachat (afachat@gmx.de)

This repository maintains the GeckOS/A65 source.

GeckOS comes of course with no warranty in any form. See the file COPYING for the GNU public license.

The doc directory contains all necessary documentation (in asciidoc mostly). I propose reading link:doc/index.adoc[doc/index.adoc] first.

The link:RELEASE.adoc[RELEASE NOTES] describe what's new in the current release.

In the repository, kernel, lib6502, devices and include are general source directories.

The apps folder holds pure lib6502 applications, like a shell, mkdir, etc. They should also assemble for other lib6502 operating systems.

sysapps holds OS/A65 specific programs, like the slipd, or the filesystem servers.

== Ports

The previous directories are very independent from the actual system architecture. The arch directory holds the architecture specific parts. It contains a directory for each supported architecture. "proto" holds a prototype architecture that can be used for porting.

Here you can find the current set of disk images for the currently active ports:

• link:arch/pet32k/boot/geckospet.d64[PET 32k geckospet.d64]
• link:arch/cbm8x96/boot/geckos8x96.d64[CBM 8x96 geckos8x96.d64]
• link:arch/csa65/boot/geckoscsa.d80[CS/A65 geckoscsa.d80]
• link:arch/c64/boot/geckos64.d64[C64 geckos64.d64]
• link:arch/c128/boot/geckos128.d64[C128 geckos128.d64]

Have fun!
