- # 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.
