Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
Wanna ask you:
Does anyone of you know how to improve time-support (e.g. how to know in my own OS what time is it).
I've got linux 0.0-0.1 kernel, there is one way, but I cannot use it (if I do - my OS will be a Linux 0.0-0.1 kernel! )
Thanks for trying.
Don't think a ****, but in ukrainian schools English is TOO BAD!
well,
to use the CMOS, you only need to do the fowling:
( it would be a good ideer to see this page, to understand what is happning here: http://www.bioscentral.com/misc/cmosmap.htm)
mov ax,0x04 ; INDEX 4 "REAL TIME COUNT"hours
out 0x70,al ; CMOS input port
in al,0x71 ; CMOS data port
now you have the hours in al
The format of the time is: XY
meaning that if the hour is 16 (24 hour system)
the value of al is "16"
Hope it helps

well, what to say, to much to do in too little space.
when it goes up hill, increase work, when it goes straight, test yourself but when going down, slow down.
Well this is quite useful! I think I'm going to use this in my OS
