The O3S Operating System

O3S, The operating system of the Atlantian Citadel.
Description:
A highly efficient computer operating system designed to overcome deficiencies of currently available OSi that makes them unusable for artificial intelligence work among other things and is indeed a bold departure from current OS philosophy. Simpler and better thought out and of course reliable. It is designed to have mil-spec security but the full capabilities of such won't be available until the development of @aton hardware.

Currently I'm experimenting in the boot sector of a flash stick storage device. Apparently it is quite a trick to discover if a pc is fully UEFI compliant which is what I'm trying to do now. I downloaded some code from Tianocore.org as complete UEFI development packages. The code is open source and free and good for education but it is not plug 'n play and as soon as you get it your work is only beginning.

Previously suspended because of un-manageable developmental snags brought to bear by mis-guided security constraints of MS Windows, a time verses productive results ratio problem caused the original cancellation, the development of this OS for the Intel x86 platform is being re-explored and the better suited Linux platform for this kind of work is being set up.

Of course a driving factor in this project is that my current MS software is becoming quite dated and it is clear that it must be replaced. By making extensive use of the UEFI the amount of coding required should become quite manageable. But first a Linux software suit must be made operational. Most of the structural and file system design of O3S is already complete and needs only coding.

The saga continues....

The situation of development at this point is very fluid. My Linux project hit, well it just hit and it won't be back. I'm not entirely sure what happened but it appears to be spaghetti code and the meatballs who wrote it. Instead I've come up with a plan that should be able to keep my 32bit MS software viable for another ten years if need be. What really appears to be good here is the UEFI code kit I downloaded. Take this and the automated driver writing software I have and the O3S project should be a go.
