Getting any kind of OS up is going to take at least a couple of months
to get a simple framework up, and more to get a usable system (at a
rough guess). It seems important to get a prototype system up quickly
for doing software on, even if the first saleable thing is not until
next year. I don't think much can be done without hardware, tho the
assembler code can be rewritten and the kernel can be got compilable,
given a reasonable spec of the hardware.
