16 bit... again..

[VolTeK]

im very sorry if i let anyone down, but as i am working on my 32 bit os, il be working on a 16 bit os, i hope im not letting anyone down by working on a 16 bit os as well? i have alot of ideas t implement into it, and id like to try it out

It's a free world, you can do whatever you want! Working on a 16-bit and a 32-bit OS at the same time is probably even preferable (since you learn more).

I hate you. go away. Your banished from this forum.

lol

well ill be learning the 32 bit by producing a os in 32 bit as a side project. i have alot of ideas id want to implement into 16 bit, to get it to do great things. maybe add a memory extender

I do a lot of my best stuff in pseudo-16-bit (real-mode with the occasional 0x66 prefix). I tend to find bootsector programming an interesting challenge since you have such limited resources. Of course, I learned ASM on the TI-83+ where you had a grand total of ~8.8k of executable RAM (unless some was being used for storage by the OS) without stepping on the OS's data, so I learned to optimize for size very early.

id love to take college software programming courses on C and asm. id ace everything because id want to learn all of it, or id try to. for now, i have google :p

May 16-bit code live forever!
I am also working on both 16 and 32 bit OS'es
Most of my time goes into my 16-bit OS demo.
It use software multitasking, has IPC interaction,
simple STDLIB (send,recv,getc,putc) and 4 applications...
Did i mention that it is only 256 bytes?

Hi,

More or less the same here... except for the supersmall size. No way I can squeeze it below 10K.

lol i wasnt aiming for my os to be small

It must not do much then

I don't care enough but it would probably be fun if someone counted GXP's announcement posts. Maybe it would be a good idea to announce when you actually have something? And don't worry about disappointing us, we need to care about it first.

[VolTeK]

jerk?

[Love4Boobies]

Not trying to be one. Honestly, do you care about my OS? Would you be disappointed in me if it were utter crap?

[VolTeK]

you could of just said that this was a pointless thread. some people at this forum i do look up to, if i looked up to u i would be alittle dissapointed because u would of been my motivation, i guess thats a problem

TBH, I would be disappointed if it were crap, mainly because I know you have the skills to pull off something good. I think the OP knows my opinion of him well enough not to deserve a mention.
