  • 86-DOS

    86-DOS was an operating system developed and marketed by Seattle Computer Products (SCP) for its Intel 8086-based computer kit. Initially known as QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System) the name was changed to 86-DOS once SCP started licensing the operating system in 1980.

    86-DOS had a command structure and application programming interface that imitated that of Digital Research's CP/M operating system, which made it easy to port programs from the latter. The system was purchased by Microsoft and developed further as MS-DOS and PC DOS.

    Origins

    86-DOS was created because sales of the Seattle Computer Products 8086 computer kit, demonstrated in June 1979 and shipped in November, were languishing due to the absence of an operating system. The only software which SCP could sell with the board was Microsoft's Standalone Disk BASIC-86, which Microsoft had developed on a prototype of SCP's hardware. SCP wanted to offer the 8086-version of CP/M that Digital Research had announced, but its release date was uncertain. This was not the first time Digital Research had lagged behind hardware developments; two years earlier it had been slow to adapt CP/M for new floppy disk formats and hard disks. In April 1980 SCP assigned 24-year-old Tim Paterson to develop a substitute for CP/M-86.

    Extension (Mac OS)

    On the Apple Macintosh operating system prior to OS X, extensions were small pieces of code that extended the system's functionality. They were run initially at start-up time, and operated by a variety of mechanisms, including trap patching and other code modifying techniques. Initially an Apple developer hack, extensions became the standard way to provide a modular operating system. Large amounts of important system services such as the TCP/IP network stacks (MacTCP and Open Transport) and USB and FireWire support were optional components implemented as extensions. The phrase "system extension" later came to encompass faceless background applications as well.

    Extensions generally filled the same role as DOS's terminate and stay resident programs, or Unix's daemons, although by patching the underlying OS code, they had the capability to modify existing OS behaviour the other two did not.

    The INIT mechanism

    The concept of extensions was not present in the original Macintosh system software, but the system nevertheless had a private patching mechanism that developers soon learned to take advantage of - the INIT loader. This code would search for system resources of type 'INIT', and load and run them at boot time. The code resources had to be stored directly in the Mac System suitcase's resource fork, meaning it was only really available to "power users" who would be comfortable using ResEdit or other resource editor.

    Better Grieved Than Fooled

    by: Anata

    Tempted to believe?
    Even I, in my solitude
    Cried for help and wished for
    That someone would be there for me
    Better grieved than fooled
    And I'm prepared to accept my suffering
    To live with pain
    Is the price for a life in truth
    Me being the only lord
    I'm the one who can forgive
    And the only one to create
    A future worth believing in
    But I live a bitter life in truth
    And curse its powerless God
    (Lead: Schalin)
    (Lead: Allenmark, Schalin)
    I can deeply regret
    My clarity of vision
    Life had been much easier
    To live, getting high on faith
    Get a reason to live
    Have a blind faith in the future
    Forever stoned
    Forever blessed in cowardice
    Me being the only lord
    I'm the only one who can forgive
    Better grieved than fooled
    So I live a bitter life in truth
