One of the main risks right now is the bootloader. We cannot yet test it, as we cannot yet interface with the disk. Additionally, the complexity of the file manager has been revealed through testing, as various bugs have cropped up during stress testing. The risks to the DOS are being managed by creating extra tests and testing extra combinations of behaviors. The bootloader can be mitigated by putting the DOS directly into memory if the bootloader cannot be fully tested.
A major milestone reached this week was the completion of the FDD module simulation testing. The disk module being completed will allow us to begin with integration testing once the 6502 RTL is done. With the 6502, we can write more complicated assembly programs to test the FDD and begin testing the bootloader and other critical parts of the DOS.
No changes were made to the schedule.
