well i think solar OS looks like a good start and i would be interested to know if there is something else that i can do with it as a newbie other than point and click to example windows and buttons et c.

Im going to make a fork of Linux and call it Spamix, and optimize the kernel to flood brutal corprate sponsorship of dictators around the world.

Calum: Well, this is only a spare time project, and I did not say that it's finished. It still needs a lot of work, but also gives a lot of reward.. Anyways, thank you for trying it out, I will post here again when we will have a new version.. Hopefully with some ability to read FAT32 hdd.. And, eventually fat12 fdd.

yeah, i'm not too up on OS design, so i kind of need some sort of purpose for it for me to have a clue of what purposes it is fit for, if you know what i mean. still, i do think this could be a good project, however i think you will need some incredibly good OS design if the project is to become larger over time, to ease maintenance, don't you think?

I'm going to try this thing - looks neat.

I made the disk, but my older machine only has VESA 1.2....

Ah well.

Ill try it if I have the time.

I wanna try LSD, it sounds mad, and maybe some more Cocain since its so badass.

BUMP

It has FAT32 access now, and a couple little applets. Still no major apps.

it's an ASM OS, it never will go far because so many of those ASM projects never go beyond endless noodling

TheQuirk · « **Reply #25 on:** 12 July 2004, 07:18 »

I'm kinda embarassed of what I said now that I look back.

Anyway, yeah. I doubt it will make it "big," but it's still kinda neat.

hm_murdock · « **Reply #26 on:** 12 July 2004, 23:11 »

yeah, it is... it's a great way to learn, and you can create some very new, inventive things... but ASM OSes aren't good at all for "real world" uers. too limited. they're great for embedded use, though.

This is cool you people are far more cleaver than I will ever be.

I've just tried this, and it's fast, up to 1024x768 16bpp or 800x600 24bpp on my system, it slows down beyond these resolutions.

The main reason for this appears to be that you've used double buffer buffering, you should use page switching, it uses far less system memory, and twice as much video memory, it's also a hell of a lot faster.

I have quickly scanned through the source code, I can already see one easy peasy optimisation.
Some ware, and I forget exactly, you coded something like;
Shl AX, 3
Shr AX, 1
You should have just coded;
Shl AX, 2

There are probably many more too, I'm still pretty new to assembly code.

It is still faster than Linux even when I run it at 640x480 8bpp.

If you could do something worth while, and write a generic Linux video driver this fast it would be most appreciated.

Heh, that still pissing you off, huh?

Yes, I would really love to run Linux, if my hardware would run it well. I could also moan on about my printer/scanner and digital camera, I have looked for drivers too.
