How to write toa floppy disk

Post by OS_Dreamer »

I'm not such stupid programmer as you can think, it's only that
when I was writing a program before ther was a lot of library that could help
me, and now, I have to write everything myself, I can use any interrups
(I could if I write them myself).

My main problem is to writing and reading disks, so can anyone tell
me where I can find a library to write and read disk (without any filesystem)

I don't think that here are really stupid programmers at all,
most of them should be able to create wonderful programs, but
OS development is just a different level ...

I am, for example, more specialized in writing 3D-Engines ...

Where we are now on the topic of a different level, I think you'll
have to write this code for yourself, too, as a driver might interfere
not only in being called by function in your os, but maybe you want to do some
kind of general resource managment for memory and irqs ...

In generally I think you should look here:
