As a easy project,I wanted to do a 16-bit OS.
I somehow found out the 286 pmode was good for me....but the documentation by intel is horrible(.txt,takes years to load on my ereader,and when it loads,has no table of contents(has stuff irrelevant in the front)).
Has anyone found a tutorial on 286 pmode...cause google gives the most irrelevant answers?
Thanks in advance.

286 Protected Mode
It's surprising what the semiconductor industry's definition of macro is and what the CS description is.

16-bit OS and easy is a contradiction. What led you to the conclusion that 16-bit PM is what you want?amd64pager wrote:As a easy project,I wanted to do a 16-bit OS.
With the 286 PM you have the additional benefit of using something that most people here have never touched. Get some experience in "normal" environments so that you get to a level where you can manage to do the 286 stuff from the Intel manual (you can use the current PDF ones, they still describe it).
