Menuet is a multitasking real-time operating system that fits on a single 1.44-MB floppy.
From their site:
Menuet is a fully 32 bit assembly written, graphical RealTimeOperatingSystem for assembly programming & distributed under General Public License.
- pre-emptive multitasking, multithreading, ipc

Since Menuet fits to a single floppy, you only need one blank 1.44 M diskette. Your hard disks are not affected in any way.
See http://www.menuetos.org/ for further information.
Operating system written from the ground up in assembly language.
There is fat32 hard drive support (No NTFS yet.)
Many programmers in Russia and groups are forming worldwide.
From AssemblyLanguage:
- A statement of particular interest (and the reason I make mention of this project here) in the FAQ is "32bit asm is generally almost as easy to program as C or Pascal."
