Dear BlackBox community,
A month or so ago Apple announced that they were going to produce
Macs running on Intel chips. Is this a good time to think about getting
BlackBox working on the Mac again?
There is work (ongoing work?) to get CP software running on Intel Linux.
This involves a new DevLinker that produces ELF output. StdLoader is able to
load ocf files just like on Windows. I wonder if a similar approach would
work for these new Macs. MacOS is a unix but it does not use ELF but its own
linker file format which looks quite complex. However maybe things like the
module Kernel and HostFiles that have been developed for Linux would be OK
for MacOS?
The source code for the Mac version of BlackBox is probably quite old now.
But maybe it would be a good start for porting the BlackBox GUI.
Any comments / interest
Regards
Andrew
