Made of neutronium, then, is it? ;)

What is the MCU family? What do you want to do with the system? What peripherals are you going to use?

I have a 300 MHZ embedded computer, what embedded operating system software is out there that I can load onto a 250mb solid state hard drive.



Iam using a solid state hard drive to cut down on space and portability.



Thanks Mikle

250 millibytes is very small. I can't see you fitting much of an operating system into that. If you can afford a few megabytes, you could consider AppleDOS (for a 300MHz 6502), ProDOS (likewise), CP/M (for a 300MHz 8080, 8085 or Z-80), Minix (for many different CPUs), FLEX (for a 300MHz 6800, 6801, 6809), MP/OS (for a 300MHz MicroNova), QDOS (for a 300MHz Sinclair QL), p-System (for a 300MHz UCSD Pascal Micro-engine - which I must admit appeals to me).

I would imagine that 250 8" Floppy drives would help you cut down on portability and space around the device much more.

He didn't say he created it, just that he possesses it. Isn't this the same guy that was posting about the Advantech PCM-5822 the other day?
