NextZXOS

NextZXOS is one of the Operating Systems that is integrated into the Next. It's based on the +3E DOS which is in turn an extension of the +3 DOS as found on the ZX Spectrum +3. It provides access to the extra memory via integrated Ram Disk as well as SD cards. It also supports CP/M Plus file structures and partitions on the SD card (although support of CP/M for the Next is still being developed), FAT16 and FAT32 partitions, the latter with full 255 character Long File Names (LFN). NextZXOS additionally supports NextBASIC's 128K full screen editor and does not need USR0 mode to operate.
