FLOPPYOS is an operating system built to run on a floppy disk using the FAT12 filesystem

Not much currently just a terminal with a few commands

Currently supported commands:

• clear: clears the terminal
• shutdown: shuts the machine down
• find: finds a file on the computer and prints its logical and physical address/sector
• open: opens the file specified and runs it
• restart: performs a warm restart
• datetime: outputs the date time
• colour: changes the colour of the text
• help: displays all commands
• discover: displays all the files

• A large array of commands for my terminal
• Support for other connected disks to allow more programs to be loaded
• Networking
• GUI
• And more

Please do not run this on your main PC, as of current it has only been tested on a VM with only access to the floppy image

Install qemu using

sudo apt install qemu-system-x86

And then run the operating system using

qemu-system-i386 -m 1 -fda FLOPPYOS.img

Run the build script using

bash Build.sh

And this will install, build, and launch FLOPPYOS

First mount the disk

Burning this on will remove all data onto your disk

Run the following command

sudo dd status=noxfer conv=notrunc if=test.img of=/dev/sdb bs=4M && sync

Wait until finish, eject and then it's done

Enjoy FLOPPYOS (:
