C64OS v1.0 released!
Greg Nacu has released C64OS v1.0, his new, text-based operating
system for the Commodore 64 with the minimum requirements of a SD2IEC
card drive and joystick/mouse.
You can use its full-featured File Manager or go into the App
Launcher. Over 25 utilities are available! For more information on
getting started with C64OS, see
https://c64os.com/c64os/gettingstarted/#requirements
You can purchase C64OS in two different packages (bundles). The
starter bundle at $59 Canadian (not including postage and any taxes)
or the standard bundle at $64 Canadian (not including postage and any
taxes). See
https://c64os.com/c64os/#order
Whether you buy the starter bundle or the standard bundle, you get
the pre-installed C64OS on a SD card and a very well-done, printed
User's Guide Supplement, among other items.

C64 OS v1.03 has been released and now has support for the scroll
wheel on a mouse connected through a MicroMys/MouSTer and support for
mounting .D64, .D71, and .D81 files. You can update the earlier
version(s) of the OS by going to the download page at

Note: To update v1.0 to the latest update, you must first run the
v1.01 update, then run the v1.02 update, and then run the last
update.

C64OS gets better and better! Version 1.04 has been released, the
Multimedia Release. In this version, there is a new graphics file
format called Commodore Grafix which has support for metadata,
variable frame rate sizes, native/non-native video modes, multi-frame
matrix images, including 3D models, panoramas, and animation
sequences. There are the new and/or improved Creator Tool and C64
Archiver, and the new SID Preview Utility with a SID Search Service.
Finally, the gfx.lib supports character-mode graphics. (Some new
features only available with the use of a RAM expander) Whew!
Check out the more complete descriptions of C64OS v1.04 and short
