An attempt in writing an OS.

sdcs...@gmail.com (Aharon Lavie) — Sun, 12 Dec 2009 15:13:16 UT

Finally, I decided to make an attempt to write an operating system. As
my first step, I decided to write an MBR that would let me switch
between the development platform and the operating system under
development. It works. Upon booting, a panel on the screen offers the
choice between booting either operating systems. At present, the one I

This might be useful to guys on Linux, e.g., producing .com's for
FreeDOS/DOSEMU, or those who use DJGPP.

Re: Function BB of Int 1Ah

Not I.
I don't see BBh for Int 0x1A in RBIL (Ralf Brown's Interrupt List) either.
Are you sure the BBh is correct? There is one listed with 0Bh and another
that has 8Bh... A few of the AX = Bxxxh functions are related to PCI and
Plug-n-Play - which have specifications.

Help.Missing interrupt from rtl8139 network card.

huxuelei...@gmail.com (leilei) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:11:09 UT

Hi.
I am writting a small os base on x86 arch.
I have just written a rtl8139 driver for my os.the device's interrupt
vector is 11.
When I run my os, I can 'ping' it through windows for a while.
But after a few minutes, the rtl8139 network card has not produce any
interrupt.
I can assure the os is not dead.Because it can receive the interrupt

An OS generator?

do_not_h...@nohavenot.cmm (Rod Pemberton) — Tue, 11 Nov 2009 23:57:45 UT

It seems someone wrote an OS generator. It generates a RTOS from
information for a FSM.
"Given a set of 'tasks' written in C, WhatOS generates a finite-state
machine operating system in C, that is architecture independent and small
enough to run even on resource-limited 8-bit microcontrollers."

Attributes of a memory request or address space request

james.harri...@googlemail.com (James Harris) — Sun, 11 Nov 2009 19:24:12 UT

Below is an attempt to come up with a maximal set of attributes that
might be needed in a memory request. (Really it's an address space
request as the actual memory can be allocated by a page fault routine
as needed.)
In the general case are all of these needed? Are any other attributes
needed or advisable so that an address space allocator can be most

Re: Embedding assembler in a language

do_not_h...@nohavenot.cmm (Rod Pemberton) — Fri, 11 Nov 2009 22:50:22 UT

Either way.
Sure, why not? It may be slow, but it could be useful for bootstrapping an
x86 OS independent of cpu mode. To fully implement useable subset of x86
instructions, one needs:
1) math operations on one of: register, stack, or memory
2) ability to move data between register and stack
3) (optionally) ability to move data between registers

misc/RFC: design of a GUI API

cr88...@hotmail.com (BGB / cr88192) — Fri, 11 Nov 2009 20:50:45 UT

well, I am idly thinking of things, and starting to consider ideas for how I
will approach this.
basically, I am considering the issue of how I will approach adding GUI
facilities to my x86-interpreter-based world.
firstly, the core issues (as I see them):
there needs to be a separate protocol and GUI API (I am currently leaning

Hi everyone,
Just thought I would stop by and say hi.
My local library is having a book sale, and I thought
I would stop by to see what they had. Every hardcover
was a dollar, every other book was a half dollar. Most
of it was romance novels and the such.
As I was roaming through a section, I found
