Multitasking

[Peter Sejfried]

Another one question for 32 bit protected mode and Pascal. I'm creating my own OS in TMT Pascal. I'd like to know how could I write multitasking/multithreading routines. How to write Task switching function. It can be software or hardware multitasking (If you know how to write hardware multitasking I'm interested in it). I asked many people, but nobody can help me. Maybe here somebody give me helping hand. I'm waiting for your reply. TIA. Peter

It seems that few people know much of anything about OS development with Pascal(including me). If you've found out some stuff about it, maybe you should share it here.

As for multitasking, I suggest that you download the Intel 386 Programmer's Reference Manual for info on hardware task switching from here:

I hope that helps you,
