back for a while

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

back for a while

Post by VolTeK »

back to say i have some new ideas for my upcoming real mode kernel, some good things u probably would think r useless in a realmode but interesting, im going to take the complex route into its development for easyupdating, and expandability for running manydifferent programs. ill stop there much more but ull have to see in beta, it will be much better then the simple past os developments i have done. good luck with development, and i hope u enjoy the upcoming project beta.

Welcome back!

Real mode isn't necessarily useless, it's more of outdated. If you can find a way to port BASH and GCC and NASM and binutils to real mode, it will become somewhat noteworthy again, hehe.

I kind of want to test the development phases and not just a beta (which could be anywhere from a few weeks from now to a few years to pulling a Duke Nukem Whenever) because "expandability for running many different programs" sounds pretty cool when used in the same sentence as "real mode" :)

G'luck,
