Dell laptop : the oddball operating system

Niklaus (the CPM 233XT) is dedicated to running Native Oberon. I cannot present a true screen dump yet it looks a lot like the picture. Only then, without the gadgets installed by default. It can be done. I did it before. But my experiments with Linux Native Oberon (LNO) look more promising and you start out with a running system and lots of standardized hardware (NIC, printer, screen) so that option looks better now. Perhaps Niklaus will get a new life as a DOS machine. Or any other oddball operating system.

Other oddball operating systems

Of course Oberon is not the only oddball operating system around. To mention just a few:

• MenuetOS
• FreeDOS
• NutOS
