Creating Ada packages such as SDL binding, or BLAS, just to name two. Or trying to write an Ada OS or adding to an existing one. Some like Toy_Lovelace (0x86 only) project exist, but have no files to show. Only a mailing list. Now, others like MaRTE OS or RTEMS OS are up and running with some projects finished while others are on going, or just getting started. So we need more info!

And both are supported by the GNAT Ada compiler. Note: Both sites have documentation for their OS in English. Also, both systems can be run under BOCHS. So you do not need to supply a floppy or disk partitions to use them unless you want to. The BOCHS system protect the hardware from software modifications or errors that might damage the computer. And it halts the concept of rebooting to switch OS until your ready for a test drive. For BOCHS: http://bochs.sourceforge.net/ As for Toy_Lovelace well the project web sites has yet to include any files or links to files. So to me, the project is still in its initialization stages.

The files are under revision control in Monotone; see http://www.ada-france.org/article131.html. There is an experimental web front-end at http://www.ada-france.org:8081/ which is not accessible from behind most firewalls. > Only > a mailing list.
