Atari ST Free Operating Systems
summary
History and hands‑on details about reviving Atari ST ecosystems: how MiNT/FreeMiNT adds POSIX multitasking and MiNTLib translates calls at runtime, how a m68k-atari-mint cross-tools release (2007) and later GCC upgrades (to GCC4 and now GCC7 ports) produced ready Ubuntu/Cygwin binaries and PPA packages, how emulators like ARAnyM plus GitHub/Travis CI produce daily snapshots, and how EmuTOS — a Free TOS clone — is patched to run natively on ColdFire FireBee hardware and via 68Kemu for legacy binaries, and that it actually works on real machines.
