# 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.
