I personally recommend NASM...It supports more output formats then TASM and MASM, it also uses a nice syntax that tends to be "easier" to work with.
*edit: I clicked your link, but all I got was a blank white page...

Really?
Code: Select all
src="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Jonas%20Emil%20Sommer/Skrivebord/site/img/zxkernel.PNG"
That doesn't look right..

It has that fugly Web2.0 look.. but it works fine in Firefox 2.0.0.6 on OpenBSD..
One thing I noticed though, Apache virtual hosts aren't configured properly..
Without the "www." prefix it loads a different page

I recommend GNU AS. That way you won't get shocked when you have to write some inline assembly for GCC.

I'd also advise you to start using periods and commas. Punctuation does a lot for readability.

I'd point you towards NASM, because it uses intel syntax and is thus actually human-readable. And I also concur with the punctuation statement.
