I am teaching operating systems, mostly UNIX and (ms-dos), at a
university in Skovde.
Is there a simulation model of a complete operating system where
someone can change the parameters and see the simulated system performance.
The software should preferably be PD.
Please send me responses by E-mail. I will post a summary if it is
requested.
Disclaimer: Even a blind man may know how to C.

In article <384@his.UUCP> you write: > >Is there a simulation model of a complete operating system where >someone can change the parameters and see the simulated system performance. > >The software should preferably be PD. I guess one could use a real operating system that's been designed for learning purposes: Minix by Andy Tanenbaum, described in the book "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation" (Prentice-Hall, ISBN 0-13-637406-9 hardback, 0-13-637331-3 paperback); Minix source code for either MS-DOS PC/512K, MS-DOS AT/640K or the Ateri ST available separately also from P-H. Not quite pd but cheap and well-supported and in use at over 10000 sites throughout the world (or so they claim)...
