BeOS, the Innovative Operating System, on the PIOS ONE

The companies Be Inc. and PIOS Computer AG work closely together to bring to market a new, modern computer system.


THE COMPONENTS

The hardware impresses by its clear modular concept, which improves the performance to new heights through up-to-date RISC technology. The motherboard contains the base units of the computer, the three PCI and two ISA slots as well as the audio part and all I/O. The CPU module is plugged on the motherboard, which carries besides the CPU chip(s) also the system RAM (in standard DIMM sockets) and cache RAM (also socketed, optional) as well as the control circuitry for all this.

The operating system BeOS combines all qualities of modern software technology:

Through all this, it is extremely fast, efficient in memory usage and harddisk storage, and still extremely compact. So you can start already with comparably low hardware effort and still exploit the power of a RISC computer. It's easy to use for the user, and easy to program for the developer.

The operating system is future-proof, as it's designed after the most recent findings and designed so modularly that it can be easily expanded.

BeOS ships standard with a complete development environment, consisting of the C++ compiler CodeWarrior from Metrowerks and complete documentation about the compiler, BeOS, and about further provided tools.

No RISC, no fun! Says PIOS.
