Hi all,
I've constructed an OS/8 system handler and a matching *nix-based disk server utility that allows anyone with a spare serial card to boot OS/8.
The server is written in C and has been successfully compiled under Cygwin on Windows and natively on Mac OS X 10.6. Those who have used David Gesswein's dumprest utilities should find themselves comfortable with my disk server, as it is based on some of the dumprest functions (config file, etc.).
I'll be releasing the source for this within the next few days. David has graciously offered to host the software, and Steve Lafferty of tronola.com said he'd be happy to help write an article about it.
Here's a quick video demonstrating it under Cygwin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkqVJ6ShV5A
I'll be posting updates both here and on the cctalk list. My original post to cctalk can be found here: http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctalk/2014-February/155705.html
