NetBSD powers the EndBox |
 |
Fans of classic computing and BASIC may be interested in the NetBSD-powered EndBox. The EndBOX is an embedded computing device which uses NetBSD to boot directly into a BASIC environment, provided by EndBASIC. "The EndBOX will run, for lack of a better name, the EndBOX OS. This OS is a quick-to-boot disk image, built on NetBSD, that just exposes EndBASIC. The primary goal behind the OS is get you to a prompt as quickly as possible while offering 'advanced' features like USB input and Wi-Fi connectivity. A secondary goal is to be resilient to power cuts: you should be able to yank power and reboot the machine at any time to get back to a known-good state, just like you used to do." This may appeal to people who wish to learn a first programming language or miss the days of operating Commodore 64 machines.
