Hi,
I am looking for some good documentation on I/O and storage, hdd, floppy... Basically what I want to learn is to implant .txt support for my OS. Right now I got a simple small OS that has a little command line.

Am also wondering would it be hard to look for files on the floppy that has my kernel.bin ? Or should i look for something else.

Happy NY everyone!

You'll need to read up on the FDC for floppies, ATA for HDDs and ATAPI for CDROMs. Then you'll really want some kind of VFS, and you'll need filesystem support to be able to read the files off the media.

Personally I'd not support floppies and would only focus on HDDs and DVD/CD drives.

All of this is covered on the wiki.
