SymbOS MP3MSX Demostration
karloch
A demonstration of SymbOS, a multitasking operating system for 8-bit Z80 machines, running on a real MSX turboR with an MP3MSX card and a CF IDE interface. It shows the OS playing audio and running a graphical desktop on very old hardware, captured from the real machine and not an emulator.
HN points to it as a vivid showcase of how much a modern-feeling GUI OS can do on slow 8-bit hardware.
