Simple 16b real-mode 'os'

Post by 0z0 »

Made this while ago, after which I got bored to OS developing. Maybe sometimes I will get more inspiration to continue, but for now a simple 'OS', where you can execute a binary program. I post this in case anyone finds it useful.

save as boot.asm:

Code: Select all

;=====================
;real mode boot loader
;=====================

[BITS 16]
[ORG 0x7C00]


main:
	;BIOS sets dl to contain the right device
	mov [bdrive],dl
	
	;clear screen and set up video mode
	mov al,03h ;80x25, 16color
	mov ah,00
	int 10h
	
	;print message
	mov si,boots
	call bootp


	;reset floppy for reading
	resetd:

		mov dl,[bdrive]

		jc resetd


	;loop until sectors read
	readd:

	;stop floppy disk motor

hint: we do have an "attach file" feature.. allows .ZIP files (up to 64kB) too..
The real problem with goto is not with the control transfer, but with environments. Properly tail-recursive closures get both right.

Wow, that's cool!

Btw - You can use something like Mediafire (>100MB - no registration required) if you want to upload a disk image.
My OS is Perception.

Most hobby OS's images aren't likely to be larger then ~5/10M.. posting them here shouldn't be a big deal.

If you have an image >100M, Compress it... uploading zeros is a waist of bandwidth.
