OS development job

Good Evening,

I'm looking for a OS developer job, developing for the Intel Architecture 32.
My references are a book about OS development (it is finished days ago, sent to a publisher) and an OS totally written in asm.
It has a Memory Manager, Task Switcher, uses the vm86, Paging, a VESA GUI, support for all ATA drives and Floppy devices, implemented [User] Heap Manager, and all things a basic OS needs.
The current development of it is to create a Desktop, which provides an Interface to work as a Bootmanager.
Beside Assembler I can develop with Object Pascal really good, with C/C++ and some other [skript] languages good.

I would do any jobs with the theme OS development, I would write you an new OS or make yours better or do what you want.

greetings,

Toaster

Note: On request I can show you the code of ToasterOS and send you the [german] book as PDF.

Would you do a properly working FAT read/write system for free (in C)? I have everything I need to do so but I just can't get it to work

Looks like there are several of us who are at the filesystem stage.

Yes... we can't call our OS's real operating systems until we get filesystem access working

. Once I have a fail-safe filesystem access system then my kernel is only two steps from being self-hosted (and that is a text editor and porting NASM or something like that)

well, I do not have the time to write a [new] FAT driver in C
but I have published the FAT functions (which are written in Assembler)under http://pastebin.ca/421112
I'd published the main FAT functions (such as read/write) still I do not have time for doing it, but I can send you the entire file on request

btw it's better if you would write an own FAT filesystem driver, it's not really difficult, just read Microsofts documents, which helps you a lot
and if some exercise is to difficult at once, share it into smaller/easier parts

and there are already some FAT drivers on the net (open source ones), just refer to FreeDOS and copy the copied code

in the moment I worry about if Microsoft will write ever back to the answer of the answer from them to the proposal....

greetings,

Toaster

Toaster: your site is hilarious.

Do you then require one to be fluent in German?

I agree with that. I had done it if somebody had given me EVERY SINGLE BIT of information I needed and just like I needed to have it presented to me to figure out when I was 6 years old.

---------------------------------
Back to the topic, do you require one to be fluent in German?

What are your payment methods?

If you are still around here, please reply when you have time. Otherwise, you'll have to be contacted by e-mail.

Hmmm... don't worry about the FAT stuff, I'm currently up to my neck in FAT code trying to optimize (my own code, so it's pretty nasty

)!

But yeah, I agree with the questions ~ is asking... specifically the payment methods and average pricing.

Toaster · Post by **Toaster** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 8:24 am

well, I do have time, but not for writing a new FAT driver anyway....
I mean my german osdev site required a lot of time, but now I'm going to do some business

@~:
The post was more to get a job, not to offer
but if you mean it in connection with the book, the "translator" should be able to speak english fluent, till I am looking to translate the book by own (but it's a lot of work and a hard job though!) and I need someone who makes spell checks etc.

currently around 10 pages (of 200) are translated, but now I have holidays for a week and I'm looking to come further fast

for the payment, I haven't made much thoughts about it, till I have written some publisher and none of them wanted to publish it, so I would sell it as e-book (PDF)
for the payment paypal or something, I do not have a current account or something....

...so....

I would really need a manager
[*cough* ~?]

greetings,

Toaster

This is the reason why I've started playing with my own file system designed for floppies (USB fobs, maybe, too). I cancelled the FAT due to so many problems... *sigh* I have losed all the simplicity of FAT in Windoze - i can't work with RSFS-formatted disks in WXP using normal tools (of course), i use PARTCOPY for all this operations.

//EDIT: RSFS is a temporary, or should we say, codename for my file system, called Really Strong File System 1.0 in present. I think i keep that name

At present, my OS can display only a volume label, OEM name and file system version...

@inflater: I've just finished my second FAT read routine (first was for FAT12, this one supports all FATs). My OS can read hard drives and floppies, and support for writing is sort of working. You can view it all on CVS (link is in my signature).

The only thing I don't support for reading currently is long file name entries (and the hard drive routines, I sort of forgot to read via the cluster chain...).
