Tutorials? Good? On that subject? in plural? :shock:

Stop expecting to find your homework premade on the other side of the web. Maybe reconsider stopping with the one thing you have almost proven by now that you are incapable of.

Aye. I'm surprised you haven't been rewarded a permaban by now. In this thread alone you've broken rules 3, 4, and part of 1.

Ye flippin' gods, Google "dos mouse driver assembly tutorial" why don't you?

I am really unsure why this is related to DOS in any way. You need a mouse driver for your rmode OS, knew that DOS was running in rmode so... yipee-yay? Well, if that's what you want, have fun with this. It's designed for FreeDOS-32 (the pmode OS).

and yes, real mode is relevant in this case, in pmode your are using different registers. im have learned a couple of things while i was gone from this cite, not suprised that most of what i learned was definately not gained from this place, but from document and how to's and tutorials from different web cites. if you want to give me info that is pmode and not rmode, your doing that just to be a jerk. i have my information, i know what i need to know, i just have not completed the real project yet(guess what, thats not complete without a mouse driver) . but if you still think a little help here and there is my problem fine i can get use to that, i have only heard it thousands of times, or i if i have broken 30 different rules on asking a question, most of all i am tired of being called incapable, so what i dont spend all of the time on this cite, or roaming around google, does that matter? i could still do it today, or next month. maybe if you test out my release maybe for once i could get some consideration on the time i wasted just to get called "incapable" [-X

First, please use "site" instead of "cite". Second you are not 'incapable'. Many newcomers would have given up by now, but you are still trying, which is a very good thing to have.

Because your system is real mode, you -can- look at tutorials and docs that uses real mode to learn from so long as you know what you can and cannot use from it.

Best of luck on your system :)

Unfortunately however, your previous post was quite smart mouthed, not at all polite, and uncalled for. You've been warned in the past for doing similar things. Perhaps you aren't incapable of writing an OS, but I'm willing to bet you are rather incapable of following forum rules (which aren't made to be broken, and are more about netiquette in general and getting the types of responses that you are looking for). There's plenty of people here that are willing to help, myself included. However not everyone is willing to spend their time rehashing the same things over and over for someone that doesn't bother to punctuate their sentences at all, doesn't bother to read the great wealth of information laid out before them, and certainly doesn't bother to ask smart questions.

Also, since you failed to perform a simple search, I suppose it's rather unlikely that you've read any of the other recent posts about mouse drivers on the forum. Please go read them now. And the wiki.
