Mean Hamster In The News

HamsterOS landed on Hackaday

Hackaday featured HamsterOS in "HamsterOS Crams Complete Graphical Desktop Onto 1.44 MB Floppy", published June 29, 2026 by Donald Papp.

The article covers the floppy-first 32-bit graphical desktop, built-in apps, hard-disk install path, DOS support, and HamsterWeazle as a friendly path for writing floppy images with GreaseWeazle hardware.

The current HamsterOS build has continued forward with the in-kernel VM86 DOS prompt, dynamic ATA and CD-ROM drive letters, the structured Help Viewer, the first HamsterWrite word-processor slice, shared bitmap system fonts, SoundBlaster 16 audio, and the HAMA/HAMD app and driver formats.
