OK Heres the basics of my os so far.

Screen Procs
CLS
PrintString
ShowCursor
HideCursor

Sound Procs
SBDetect
SBWriteReg
SBWait

Misc Procs
Beep
PrintError

All of these procedures are in the form of int 0x21
there is a list of these procedures and the input required here: http://www20.brinkster.com/natvatc/dwn.asp and click on [glow=red,2,300]Meganet int0x21 details[/glow]

So if anyone has any ideas for my os i would greatly appreciate them. ;D

Also i wish to recruit 5 testers for my os, if you wish to test my os e-mail me at [email protected]
SUBJECT: MG10

thanx ;)

well, it of course depends on what you want to offer, but file (open, close, read, write) and programs (run, kill, exit) system calls are a must.

btw, i would recommend you do *not* use int 21 for your own os (unless you're writing a DOS-clone): pick up one of the other 239 numbers to avoid confusion ...

Question 1) How much do we get after testing?
Question 2) I want to test but I do not want to e-mail with a subject line mg10, what should I do?
Question 3) (I wont ask what mg10 is) Where is grey donkey?

implement memory managment and a filesystem support, and then try to make a test application just to see how your OS works ;)

KieranFoot: I clicked on your link. And I saw:

"HTTP1.1 STATUS 403 Remote Access to this object forbidden This file cannot be directly accessed from a remote site, but must be linked through the Brinkster Member's site. "

How do i use another interrupt, I'm only using int 21 because i have the code to do it. I would use another int value but i don't understand how the code works so i cant change it ??? If you could supply me with the needed knowledge to perform this task I would be greatfull!!! ;D

I think your first task should be to understand how the code you've already got works. Browse through the .:QuickLinkz:. section for some useful sites.

I'd recommend the Operating Systems Resource Center and Bona Fide OS Development for a beginner.
