OSDev.org

Sounds fun!

Chainloading, as in multiple sectors? Not allowed.

No, not for the OS itself. All of its code is in the 512-byte MBR. It can chainload other OSes if they are installed, but it doesn't require anything to be on the disk to run (other than the MBR).

Ahh, nifty, kind of like my second-stage bootloader.

Heres my entry, a bootable CD Player with clock, i thought we had less than a week so i rush it.

sorry guys take me out, i really am into main os right now. i will be in the next one though. have fun, i will have fun testing the entries

Dex: Thanks, good luck!
Ghost: Sorry to hear that, the next one will probably be still one sector, but might be a protected or long mode CD sector for more room and intense coding!

thats cool, maybe then i will have a better background on osdev, any way lets stay on topic and get some entries and decide who gets the um prize?

Hmmm... What is the prize? Free code exclusively licensed to the winner with no copyright notices?

sounds good, but there are many people here who already have the knowledge and background in osdev and programming, i dont know if it will be worth it for them, but its a start

Okey, so either free code or something else. Ideas, people!!

Intership with microsoft? hmmm. not worth it. a new computer and troy will buy it ha ha

I ain't buying nothing, I'm flat broke!

How 'bout this: a free copy of my already free and open source OS!

sounds great, can i be a judge, btw i can help you write programs. i will judge by what it can do and if its features are very unique and cool in a way, as in what the os does.

Sorry, but we're going by public vote to make everything fair and equal for everyone!

eh its ok, i dont need to be one, and it depends a fat "writing" driver?
