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
