		wslh on Sept 13, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: X Window System on a Floppy With a friend and stimulated by the QNX demo we ported a Squeak Smalltalk graphical environment to one 1.44mb disk: http://swain.webframe.org/squeak/floppy/ Basically we use a base Linux and modified Squeak to use SVGAlib instead of X-Windows. Later on some friends created a whole OS in Squeak (e.g. you could browse the TCP/IP protocol as a class in Smalltalk): https://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1762

Oh... sorry about that. I read 2021 somehow.

The nopsys/CogNOS project is more recent (commits in 2018): "CogNOS is actually a third iteration of the orginal SqueakNOS project ..."

There is a conference paper about it, also from 2018:
