Version 0.6.0 of AMOS has at last been released! Changes included better standard C library support, improved DMA memory allocation, a big bug fix in the physical memory manager and lots of smaller fixes. The FAT driver has also been improved with write support (although some known bugs in that). A new CPU bound test application of the Towers of Hanoi has been included for stress testing the system. I have tested 0.6.0 on VMWare, Qemu, Bochs and a variety of machines in my lab and it seems to be stable.
Its a high level look at the kernel code. Used allong side the source code comments should provide a good way for people to understand the implementation. If I get around to fixing up the design documentation I will put it up also. As an aside the AMOS project recieved a first class honours result as my final year degree project!
I would be gratefull to everybody who checks it out to give the 0.6.0 release a test and maby even look over the code and forward me on all bug reports, cheers.
And getting back to the whole point here... lol. I'll test that in Bochs for you, though I doubt I'll turn up anything if you didn't It's the first OS other than the usual Windows that has ever run on this machine though, it should feel suitably privileged (gah, I can't spell that today) ;D
