Glaze: an operating system for the Casio BE-300
Glaze is a from-scratch microkernel OS for the Casio BE-300, with a browser-based emulator and an interface inspired by the first iPhone.
- For
- Casio BE-300 owners, retro-PDA enthusiasts, and legacy-hardware developers
- Worth noticing
- The emulator shows Glaze at the BE-300’s native 240 × 320 resolution; AIM requires a revival or user-supplied OSCAR server.
Field notes
The homepage lists native apps including Notes, Music, Browser, Calendar, and an App Store, alongside selected Windows CE programs; compatibility is selective rather than universal. Its Task Manager exposes live CPU and memory history, running tasks, and threads, while protecting system services from termination. Developers are pointed to rendering and flash benchmarks plus boot, launch, and memory measurements in tests/bench.py. The AIM client requires a revival server or an OSCAR server, since AOL’s original service is closed.
