[Oberon] Re (2): contemporary instructions for installing NO

[peter at easthope.ca]

Chris,

> Is long-term/universal theory for booting available?

My instructions are universal in the sense that the 
Oberon0.Dsk file can be written to a diskette or can 
support diskette emulation by a hypervisor.  What do 
you mean by "universal"?

> Or is it always just another specialist device-driver [blacbox]?

Access to any particular storage medium requires a 
device driver.  As long as new forms of storage are 
developed, new device drivers will be needed.  No 
protocol for universal access to storage exists yet.  

> Did ETHO ever master USB? 

NO has a driver for UHCI.

If someone contributes OHCI, EHCI or XHCI, good.

> That's why I switched to LEO;

That is the revived Linux Oberon recently announced by 
Peter Matthias or something older?

Thanks,            ... Peter E.
