Well, it looks like this was released before I had a chance to finish my
32v port, not that I was working very hard on it. I have a boot and
memory disk driver working, but haven't started the real device drivers
working yet.
For what it's worth, I started the project with a port of the ACK
compiler. It may be useful. You can find it at
ftp://opensourcedepot.com/minix/cross/minix-cross-0.1.tar.gz. There
also some of my early work at ftp://opensourcedepot.com/32V.
I did get a chance to play with v7/x86 in Bochs. Looks pretty good.
Any plans for the future?
