My OS Success

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

My OS Success

Post by Omega »

Humbly speaking, my OS is working like gangbusters. In 6 months I have:

1. Setup/Installed
a. IDT
b. GDT
c. IRQ
d. ISR
e. PIT
f. Paging
g. Terminal

Now, I am going to start work on my FDD/HDD drivers, my generic (FDA Approved) RegEX engine, a fancy splash screen would be nice, and that's it I guess for the beta version. Maybe some coding enhancements wherever possible, tweaking, etc. Oh, I'd also like to boot from CD/USB/FDD, if possible, but FDD is cool for now I suppose (testing).

Anyway, just got excited and wanted to share with the group. Good night.
Free energy is indeed evil for it absorbs the light.

Maybe you could write the device driver interface and the virtual file system before FDD/HDD drivers.
And if I were you I would write better my virtual memory manager (it's only an advice because I've rewritten it very many times, and now it's really beautiful, or better wonderful :D )

Your OS will grow only if you have a solid basis, and this solid basis is the OS's design.
