that will be hard but a big accomplishment, cant wait to see what you make out of opcodes, like what your os will do

I think that will be the hard part, is just jumping in cause I really want do some fancy self-modifying code stuff(like I think a [usually]jumpless shell would be neat) that uses segment wrap around to just write itself through 64kb so it doesn't ever actually jump and is constantly rewriting it's own code based on what the user is doing...

I think I need to get much more familiar with the x86 instruction set though(I wrote an 8086 emulator, but I don't think that's enough lol)
