RE:dave68, heres my email
I did send it once - I can't think why you didn't receive it. I have just sent it again, and copy and pasted your email in, so you should get it this time !

Was it tested?
Have you tested that code? I can't seem to get it working... I see a lot of lines are commented out...
Thanks for the code, I'll keep trying to get it to work,

RE:Was it tested?
Yes it has been extensively tested, though you are correct, there ar still some commented out lines left over from the debug phases. The code itself was designed to be loaded in at 0000:8000 by the boot sector, the sector also enables the A20 line and switches into protected mode, then enters this program at offset 8, that is Code32Seg:8008. Every thing else should be fairly self explanitory from then on in. Note that this code is designed to avoid the BIOS at all costs, even when such BIOS routines are PM compliant, so there are low level routines for VGA display, keyboard handling and floppy access. Again, any problems, let me know, either here or via email at [email protected]. One further note - for reasons we have as yet not been able to resolve, this code will not run on certain chipsets, VIA is one ntable example of this. Most of our development systems use intel chipsets (mostly 440BX) and they work just fine
