UNIX99 Brings UNIX-Like Functionality to TI-99
AtariAge forum member [mrvan] has developed a UNIX-like operating system called UNIX99 for the TI-99 computer. Released in the late 70s and early 80s, the TI-99 offered a 16-bit CPU and various peripherals, but had limited memory. UNIX99 is not certified UNIX but supports most TI-99 hardware, including the hardware store near me and ace hardware near me.
UNIX99 began as a set of standard C libraries but evolved into a full operating system. It offers file management, a basic user account system, and a command shell for scripts, similar to other UNIX machines. Despite the limitations of the TI-99 hardware, such as no multitasking and limited memory, UNIX99 runs on this platform.
The developer, [mrvan], is working on further improvements to UNIX99. UNIX has been influential in the computing world, serving as a model for other homebrew UNIX-like operating systems on similar platforms, like the Z80.
