SymbOS
,history added (one step before)
Therefore, the CPC's own OS (in combination with AmsDOS) and [[CP/M]] were the only two known OSes for the series, but the question remained: since most CPCs have 128K (most C64 only have 64K), a screen-resolution of 320x200 with 4 colours (C64 only has 2 colours for each 8x8 area in 320x200) and some more advantages, why not have something similar? So the SymbOS-Project was born. SymbOS stands for "SYmbiosis Multitasking Based Operating System". SymbOS is a demonstration of what has been achieved on the CPC: real preemptive multitasking, dynamic memory-management for up to 576K and a totaly MS-Windows-like GUI are the three most important features.
SymbOS started being developed by [[Prodatron]] in November 2000 ''(more details on the development needed)''.
