Publisher's Description
MenuetOS is an Operating System in development for the PC written entirely in 32/64 bit assembly language. Menuet64 is released under License and Menuet32 under GPL. Menuet supports 32/64 bit x86 assembly programming for smaller, faster and less resource hungry applications.
Menuet isn't based on other operating system nor has it roots within UNIX or the POSIX standards. The design goal, since the first release in year 2000, has been to remove the extra layers between different parts of an OS, which normally complicate programming and create bugs.
Menuet's application structure isn't specifically reserved for asm programming since the header can be produced with practically any other language. However, the overall application programming design is intended for 32/64 bit asm programming. Menuet programming is fast and easy to learn. Menuet's responsive GUI is easy to handle with assembly language. And Menuet64 is capable of running Menuet32 applications.

It's been a while since I've used MenuetOS, very nice but the OS is going the way of the dinosaur really fast since who still has a floppy drive, they don't come with most new computers now-a-days, and it's hardly worth spending the money for one just for MenuetOS.
So a bit of a rethink is needed.

The MAZZTer, are you rating Virtual PC, and QEMU, or Menuet?

This is quite simply a fantastic example of what can be accomplished with highly-optimized and efficient assembly coding.
I've been following the progress of this OS for a while, and it still amazes me what it is able to do for such a small size.
The 64-bit version is available on the author's site, as well as a CD that can be ordered which contains additional 64-bit applications.

Fantastic OS; I actually had a dream for building a very functional floppy-disk-sized operating system, but it appears that someone beat me to it!
Really cool; of all other OS's of it's size, this takes the cake.
CarlK, I used RawWrite to put the image on a floppy, it's the best app I know of for this purpose.

1.Too BIG for a floppy. 2.How to use an .IMG file? 3.Can't rate yet, but our IT guy told me about it!
allsiante & oubeaver found file size problem.
My PowerDesk Filmanager says the M32-084.IMG is 1,474,560 B. And an empty floppy is 1,457,664 B.
So close.
I have never used an image file. They are sector- by - sector copies using the disk controller/BIOS?
Anyone used Winimage or alcohol 120 to read or write an .IMG?

It needs USB drivers support so that it could be booted off of a flash memory on motherboards having the boot option.

Doesn't work under Virtual PC. Virtual PC is forced to reset the VM while it is booting.
It works on QEMU for a few seconds, until it slows to a halt.

Very interesting little OS that fits on a floppy. It'd be better if it didn't require a floppy.
Had no luck with connectivity on an Intel Pro/1000 NIC.
Running under VMware, it appears to freeze up when you first boot it. All you have to do is push Escape when the screen is garbled and then it continues to load. After that it seems to run alright. Unfortunately the whole OS isn't very useful without a decent web browser. The included browser won't even display graphics.

Is the best mini-SO ASMbased, when it have hm installation and suport for internet will be a great SO for people that have jurassic machines like me...

The best FDD-based Asm.O.S. I have seen. Possibly would attract more people if it could be installed to a partition on HDD, and more apps written for it. Otherwise, a potential development platform.

You mean my 1.2 megs full featured router image is bloated ? You mean my 1.4 megs client image is bloated ? You mean a clean debian or gentoo install done by someone who knows whathe does is bloated ? What da heck, I don't even care what do you mean, I'll just give Menuet a 5 cause it does what I like playing with it.
