Retro-Rocket Operating System

 
Retro-Rocket is a niche Operating System, designed to imitate and extend the BBC MOS 3.20 on PC hardware with modern concepts such as multitasking.

Retro-Rocket's default shell is an extension of the BBC BASIC language rewritten from scratch in C and compiled for 32-bit intel systems, with extensions for multi-tasking and modern filesystem access.

The operating system is currently usable by interested developers under appropriate real hardware or under an emulator such as QEMU. Small FAT32 hard disks are supported, at present user programs may be placed on the FAT32 partitions via external programs or operating systems and then executed under Retro-Rocket.
