Updated RetroForth/Native
« on: January 08, 2006, 12:45:50 AM »

After a good week of coding, I'm happy to announce a signifcantly updated version of RetroForth/Native. The native Retro now has:

  • Multiboot compliance (can be booted off a hard disk, floppy, or CD with GRUB)
  • More reliable default hard disk driver
  • Automatic detection of hard disk type and geometry
  • Detection of a RetroForth or ForthOS partition (load/save disabled if not found or manually overridden)
  • Can be installed to a RetroForth partition. If done, can be loaded by GRUB.

I've started some work on support for a debugging framework and intend to add support for interrupts (with the handlers written in Forth) over the next few days. If anyone is interested, check it out at http://rf.fcode.org/get
