Introduction
FOCA is a project aimed at developing a suite of open source development tools for the MSX computing environment, particularly an assembler and a C compiler that can produce output suitable for the UZIX operating system.A preliminary version of the assembler is ready.
The most outstanding result of the FOCA project so far is a
book (published under the GNU Free Documentation License) with
technical reference to Z80 assembly, the MSX BIOS, UZIX,
MSX-DOS and hardware characteristics of the MSX architecture.
The book was written in portuguese (cover
shown at the right), and a print version was
sold in the Brazilian MSX user gathering at Jaú in
November 2002.

filesystems and a linux kernel module for mounting uzix filesystems read/write under
Linux.
