ToDo For 1.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

X DONE X Need to catch tabs and display spaces...txtdrvr.asm (placed 3 spaces in for tab, )
- Add the ability to check for multiple CPUs and check them for type.

X DONE X - Review DetectCPU for logical sequence and CPUType Identification (1 - 8)
 X DONE X -- Remove false types in code (there for testing)
 X DONE X -- If the processor supports CPUID then we can use it, for now. 

-- Need to determine differences in Pentium and 486 opcodes.
-- Need to finish known CPUs into code

X DONE X - Write C application:
          -- Opens Version.ASM to update build number with an increment per call
X DONE X  -- Need to update C application for new directory structure

X DONE X - Write Batch file:
          -- Run C Application
          -- Archive the build with unique zip file
          -- Build OS
          -- Copy OS to floppy

X DONE X - Incorperate Memory Probing from PMode (done for UnReal Mode)
           This stays in flat-real mode, no need to change.

X DONE X - Fix individual types for return to DOS or REBOOT

X DONE X - Check to see if we're in DOS or Windows or something else

X DONE X - Update realmode text driver to update BIOS cursor locations (not needed, using BIOS)

X DONE X - Implement Time Stamp at boot time and calculate boot processing time (CMOS).

X DONE X - Default text screen size 80 x 50
  		(Working on LoadFont; Loadfont seems to work, but screen looks weird)
 X DONE X Save location of 8 by 16, 8 by 14, and 8 by 8 fonts
 X DONE X Have to be able to return to 80 x 25
 -- Need to copy existing video screen and replace the updated screen with the information; 
    if the screen is less rows, then scroll up to the last row and proceed
 X DONE X Found another way through VESA 132 x 60 screen shots...nice.
 -- Fix bugs with VESA text modes

X DONE X - Memory mapping scheme using mapped document (Read document and incorperate)
          -- Remove 1MB DEBUG boundary to BIOS and CMOS memory routines
          -- Memory allocation and deallocation scheme
          -- Fix CMOS to Probing Not Needed
          -- Fix E801 recognition error (only sees 1MB and says it is ok)
          -- Analyze required variables for Protected Mode

X DONE X Fix EXE files with a new OSDA if within DOS...DOS uses what we want.
-- Fix Memory Layout to work with E820
-- Fix Memory Layout to check for ROMs
-- Fix Memory Layout to check for EBDA

X DONE X - Fix A20 Error so that processor doesn't try to probe memory...BIOS is ok.
X DONE X -- Need to rewrite A20 file (cleanup)

X DONE X - Update Protected Mode text screen driver (may make seperate from kernel)

X DONE X - Memory Manager (Bitmap is there, but went with data-record notation)

X DONE X - PCI Enumeration (in real mode) Not needed found PM edition works

X DONE X - If error before protected mode, get ready to reboot...

X DONE X - Go To Protected Mode

- PM PCI Enumeration (Shows on startup, need to be able to call from CLI)
 X DONE X PreLoad VENDORS.TXT from www.pcidatabase.org
 X DONE X Make into useable database
 X DONE X Enumaerate and discard unused devices (space saver; have an option for redo)
 X DONE X Get specific information for each installed device and make it a part of database
 -- Make an option for REDO of VENDOR.TXT

- PnP Enumeration (Started)

- Determine motherboard information, ie. Serial Port Chip

- Begin reading IDT stuff (INW)
 X DONE X Start up IDT
 X DONE X Loadup internal timer IRQ 0
  X DONE X Setup PIC for one at a time startup and use
 -- Add OS Call for IDT Adds and Subtracts (Adds done; need subtract)

- Create Driver Interface to OS (INW)
 -- Device Manager (INW; Needs and Devices)
  --- Ability to use installed drivers like DOS ie. NUL, CON, LPT1, PRN, etc.
 -- Load when needed; Release when done.

- Clock Driver (INW)
 -- Update for date time information

X WORKING X Keyboard Driver (Like DOS CON driver, includes keyboard and console;)
 -- Include ALT+decimal number to 255 translation for input.
X DONE X regular characters
X DONE X Shift characters
X DONE X CAPS lock characters (shifted and not)
 -- Ctrl characters
 -- Alt characters

X DONE X Basic Command Line shell

- Text Windowing from OS calls (create OS calls)
 -- Rudementary windowing for IDT exceptions (Started)

- Read up on TSS and implement (INW)
 -- Write two simple tasks to thread with (with text windowing)

X WORKING X ATA(IDE) Driver

X WORKING X Floppy Driver

- Partition Manager; Logical Drive assignment
  -- Identifies all drive from partitions, assigns logical drive letters of (useful) drives (FAT 12/16)

- File System Manager

- FAT Driver (12 & 16)

- RealTek 8139 NIC Driver
 -- Ethernet Driver
  --- TCP/IP Driver

- OS Utilities:
 -- FORMAT Utility (smiddyOS Format [Likely XDF], and regular DOS on 3.5 2MB drive)
 -- CHKDSK Utility (for known drives above)
 -- MEMory Utility (Display Memory as the OS know's it).
  X DONE X Rudementary display of listed memory items.

- Internal Commands:
 -- DIRectory
  --- Need to make a 2MB buffer for a directory size (limit) so that operation fast
 -- CD - Change directory
 -- MD - Make directory
 -- RD - Remove a directory
 X DONE X -- VERsion
 X DONE X -- EXIT (option to REBOOT; Powerdown; Return to DOS)
 X DONE X -- PCI - Shows attached PCI devices
 -- PnP - Shows PnP devices (INW)
 -- SMBios - Shows the SMBIOS table information (INW)
 X DONE X -- HELP - shows all the commands available
 X DONE X -- TIME - shows current time
 X DONE X -- BOOTTIME - shows the boot time of current system
 X DONE X -- BOOTDATE - shows the boot date of current system
 X DONE X -- DATE - shows the current date

 -- A: - to change logical drive letter, if available
 X DONE X -- CLS - clears the screen
 X DONE X -- MODE - Change the current text screen mode
 X DONE X -- DRIVES - shows hardware attached drives (Floppy and IDE type, SCSI later)

- Applications:
 -- Network Analyzer (may make as its own boot tool)
 -- Calculator (very basic)

- Game
 -- Testris type game; developing first for Dex4u
