It's not impossible. The easiest way is to use the same technique as
Java (or IC) and write an embedded interpreter that executes code for a
"psuedo" machine. The resulting machine can have arbitrarily strict
access restrictions between tasks. You do have to take away some C
"features" like casting an arbitrary value to a pointer, etc, but you
can do it.

I'm curious how the "users" of your system would be motivated to crash
it. If you're simply looking for a "safe" development environment
consider a version of BASIC without poke...

Hello all,

i'm trying to write a small OS, but am confused about something.

I don't want to give access to all memory locations for the user, only
for the supervisor.
Since the 68hc11 doens't have these modes i have to think of something
else. A sollution is a external mmu, but this maybe some overkill.

Does anyone have some suggestions, or is it simply impossible to do.
