I'm researching multi-tasking and I wanted an example code of a scheme for Fasm. I have no real interest in programming an operating system.
I have read many good books on the different type's of multi tasking schemes although i have not seen any examples of one's written in asm for the x86 architecture. I have seen asm code for VAX' yes , IBM/390's - 400's yes, Alpha's, Sparc and now commodore 64. Not 386. Most system design books don't even cover Intel 386 chips. If they do , they are not very indepth. I can not find any real technical information on 386 architecture that would aid me in this research effort. Excuse my spelling. I'll think i will just have to be happy with the menuetos source. Thanx anyway adam.  |

John Fine wrote several multitasking demos for the 386. They were written in NASM, but a port to FASM shouldn't be difficult. In any event, they are a lot simpler to understand than the Menuet code. IIRC they are all heavily commented. You can find them at http://my.execpc.com/~geezer/johnfine/

The Intel processor manuals are the best reference you can get, they contain detailed technical information on the Intel range of CPUs (including x86); You can download them for free as PDFs from the Intel web-site: http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/
