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.

</sarcasm>

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.

Regards

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.

jerk?

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

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.
