Getting started on keyboard input (newbie)

Post by xSlendiX »

Hi, I just completed the Bare Bones tutorial and got the terminal scroll and \n working. I was wondering if I can get started on keyboard input. If I can, how do I get started? If not, what more do I need to learn? :D

You need to make sure the GDT is correctly set up, then create an ISR entry, configure the PIC and you're good to go!

No. You can't use BIOS functions in protected mode.
