Menuet is a multitasking real-time operating system that fits on a single 1.44-MB floppy.

From their site:

''Menuet is a fully 32 bit assembly written, graphical RealTimeOperatingSystem for ''assembly programming'' & distributed under General Public License.''

	* ''pre-emptive multitasking, multithreading, ipc''
	* ''graphical UI with 16 M colours up to 1280x1024''
	* ''ide: editor/compiler for applications and kernel''
	* ''kernel and application sources included (GPL)''
	* ''ethernet: tcp/udp/icmp/ip''
	* ''http/mp3 servers, 3D maze''
	* ''free-form, skinnable application windows''
	* ''hard real-time data fetch''
	* ''fits in a single floppy''

''Since Menuet fits to a single floppy, you only need one blank 1.44 M diskette.  Your hard disks are not affected in any way.''

From AssemblyLanguage:
	* A statement of particular interest (and the reason I make mention of this project here) in the FAQ is "32bit asm is generally almost as easy to program as C or Pascal."
