:  regarding this thread, there was some time ago a similar talk in the demoscene:
:  the demOS project. it would be a 32-bit OS (though not DOS), designed to give 
:  complete hardware acesss, soundcard drivers, video drivers and a command line
:  interface, all to run demos at the fastest possible speed.

:  it wasn't released (i guess it wasn't even started), mainly because someone 
:  realised that noone would install a new OS just to view/code demos.

Yea, I worked on this project for a while...  It was a very promising idea
(module driven everything, multitasking, etc.)  All the further we had
gotten when I left was a basic kernel and OSLO (OS Loader, like LILO)...

Oh well...

PS - I didn't know anybody in this group other than McGugan and myself
     demo enthusiasts...  What's your nick/group if you have one?
