Hello,
I'm new here, so I thought i'd introduce myself and my OS project. I am working on 512DevOS, formerly Protonix and BootSector/OS. Its aim is to have as much functionality as possible in 512 bytes. it has just hit version 0.02, and can now load other sectors from a floppy disk (in sectors 1-3). It has a rather unique way of going about this; it uses the "F" function keys. For example, F1 loads sector 1, F2 loads sector 2, and so on. This is only implemented up to F3 at present. The package contains a small test program that shows the sector loading ability and the custom interrupts.
My OS is avaliable at http://www.512dev.us.tt
Thanks,
Anthony
PS any testing reports would be appreciated

Re:512DevOS 0.02 Released
sorry if that sounds rude, but i really don't see the point of having a system able to load the first N sectors only.
What about getting hexa input instead and let the user control what sector and what memory address it wants to read/write to ... that might be much more useful.
(plus if you made a hex editor, you'd have a fix-floppy-tool)
