The AROS Research Operating System is a lightweight, efficient, and flexible desktop operating system, designed to help you make the most of your computer. It's an independent, portable and free project, aiming at being compatible with AmigaOS at the API level (like Wine, unlike UAE), while improving on it in many areas.

RasDOS

Last update 2010

RasDOS is a custom build (image) for the Raspberry Pi that contains 3 emulators capable of running DOS applications and games.

The emulators are:

The fastest emulator is rpix86 by Patrick Aalto. It can emulate a 486 running at around 20Mhz.

Features

Setup

Simply download the image, extract from zip and write to your SD card. The image is designed for a 4Gb SD card.

Single Step Setup

I use USB Image Tool to write compressed images in a single step to SD cards. this saves the need to extract the .imz file first before restoring to SD.

Finnix

Last update 2015

Finnix is a self-contained, bootable Linux CD distribution ("LiveCD") for system administrators, based on Debian. You can mount and manipulate hard drives and partitions, monitor networks, rebuild boot records, install other operating systems, and much more. Finnix includes the latest technology for system administrators, with Linux kernel 3.0, x86 and PowerPC support, hundreds of sysadmin-geared packages, and much more. And above all, Finnix is small; currently the entire distribution is over 400MiB, but is dynamically compressed into a small bootable image. Finnix is not intended for the average desktop user, and does not include any desktops, productivity tools, or sound support, in order to keep distribution size low.

The Development of Raspicade is Stopped

I stop the development of Raspicade to contribute to Recalbox. This distro is much better than mine, and managed by a team. Thanks to all users who help to make raspicade better. See you on RecalBox Community.

Raspberry Pi 2B, Pi3B:

The file “cmdline.txt” inside the FAT partition of the raspberry 3.9.3A image are corrupted.

To solve the problem, you have to create a new file named “cmdline2.txt” at the same level of the corrupted “cmdline.txt”. Copy this text inside the “cmdline2.txt” :

root=HD=ZS-A7E25B3C_3.9.3A_1 rootwait panic=10 loglevel=0 elevator=noop dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 quiet

Rename “cmdline.txt” to “cmdline3.txt” and finally rename “cmdline2.txt” to “cmdline.txt”.

The raspberry should start normally with this new “cmdline.txt”.

Bye.
