Had this NOKIA-9000 communicator laying on my shelf for a long time, and I’m still amazed how cool this device was back in the day.

Runs PC-GEOS! Which recently got open sourced, if you want to write software for it... https://github.com/bluewaysw/pcgeos
Can anyone suggest any fun to mess around with software that I can find on archive.org? I'm looking for things from old businesses or just anything fun really.

luckily we have sources now ( https://github.com/bluewaysw/pcgeos ) so that makes it much more fun. it's kinda weird to read TODO from 199x :)

i was a bit joking with geos but of course, if you are curious - then try it. by now even the sources are available if you want to read some cute assembly or dive in prehistoric kernel ( https://github.com/bluewaysw/pcgeos ).

The 8086 Assembly source code of the MikeOS operating system is remarkably readable and easy to understand for such low-level software http://mikeos.sourceforge.net
I want to learn more about operating systems, if you guys could refer me to any source or something that would really help

provided you can understand or at least are willing to learn NASM assembly, there's a OS written totally from scratch here: https://github.com/mig-hub/mikeOS
