MenuetOS
The 32-bit operating system MenuetOS was programmed by Ville Turjanmaa with assembler. It is a new, graphical real time multitasking operating system which is programmed by several developers. Up till now FAT12 and FAT32 file systems are supported only rudimentarily. MenuetOS fits comfortably on one single floppy disk and offers a standard colour depth of 16 million colours. Multi-Threading and simple TCP/IP are supported in meanwhile. An assembler is already contained.With Menuet64 even a variant is available for 64 bit processors. Programmed in 100% assembler the execution of 64-bit and 32-bit applications is possible. The installation on fixed storage disks is supported.
With the Menuet32 version 0.80 up to 0.89, the user interface and network functions was improved and support of USB 2.0 equipment added.
