# Running Collapse OS on real hardware |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Collapse OS is designed to run on ad-hoc post-collapse hardware |
|
|
|
build from scavenged parts. These machines don't exist yet. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To make Collapse OS as likely as possible to be useful in a |
|
|
|
post-collapse world, we try to give as many examples as possible |
|
|
|
of deployment on hacked-up hardware. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, we include a recipe for running a Sega Master |
|
|
|
System with a PS/2 keyboard plugged to a hacked up controller |
|
|
|
cord with an AVR MCU interfacing between the PS/2 connector and |
|
|
|
the controller port. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This setup, for which drivers are included in Collapse OS, exist |
|
|
|
in only one copy, the copy the author of the recipe made. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, the idea is that this recipe, which contains schematics |
|
|
|
and precise instructions, could help a post-collapse engineer |
|
|
|
to hack her way around and achieve something similar. She would |
|
|
|
then have a good example of schematics and drivers that are |
|
|
|
known to work. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to run Collape OS on real hardware, take a look at |
|
|
|
arch-specific documentation in /recipes and see if some of the |
|
|
|
supported hardware is close to something you have. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Easy pickings are PC/AT (which run on modern PCs supporting |
|
|
|
legacy BIOS), Sega Genesis w/ Everdrive and TI-84+. Those |
|
|
|
options don't require any soldering. |
