To show that a command interpreter for realmode and pmode are very similar.

ASHLEY4.

ps: you can get the source from here, for the full os (including int 20h)

or go to my posting on here:

Nice...

Thx ASHLEY4

The V2OS is way more advanced than my os wannabe.
Looking in sources maybe i'l learn something.

That ok, Gambino,
I have started a pmode os assembled with fasm, it's not as advanced as v2os, but is made on the same idea's and shows how to set int's in pmode eg: idt etc.
If it helps you can down load it from here: http://www.falconrybells.co.uk

Posting soon... very busy right now...

Uh, yes I Am Alive if u are wondering

Here is the v0.5 Alpha Release....
The 'dir' command only works with FAT16 formatted harddisks.
To make it boot from floppy just insert a blank dos formatted floppy and run makeboot.bat
After that reboot your computer and boot from floppy.

I want some reply on this...
I know i have a bug but it's from the procedures macro...
The procedures only accept Word or DWord, not both:



CAN ANYONE GIVE SOME GOOD PROC MACROS ?

You could just make everything DWORDs. Another 2 bytes on the stack aint going to make much of a difference.

Don't know anything about macros, but know that would work for you.

Now working on graphical aspects...

GOMER73

That's not a solution...

I've missed something. What do you mean?

Gambino, This is some code for vesa 1 , for real-mode, it may help your graphic code.

Thx ASHLEY4 , bur VESA will be implemented later, now i'm working on TEXT mode graphics . ( Like puting a new font, creating new characters, setting a non-standard TEXT resolution like 90x40 ).

Did u look at the new release ?

For non-standard text resolutions, I like 100x30 If you're using the BIOS for text output this is as simple as adding:

Yes i have and you are do a great job, v2os sets a none standard text mode and fonts, have you seen how they have done it ?.
I have some font for the above vesa mode when you come to do your graphic.
I also have code for a command line cdplayer that runs in real-mode (does not need dos)that you can add to your next release.
Let me know if you need them and keep up the good work.

ASHLEY4.

Actualy i implemented already a new font
And now working on a rotine that changes resolutions
Like now i'm in 80x25 standard mode, i type mode90x40 and now i am in 90x40 non standard mode

ASHLEY4 any help is welcome

Some one please tell me how many text modes do u know..

I know these:

text pixel pixel colors disply scrn system
resol box resolution pages addr
1. 40x25 9x16 360x400 16 8 B800 VGA
2. 80x25 9x16 720x400 16 8 B800 VGA
3. 80x43 8x8 640x350 16 4 B800 VGA
4. 80x50 8x8 640x400 16 4 B800 VGA
5. 80x60 VESA
6. 132x25 VESA
7. 132x43 VESA
8. 132x50 VESA
9. 132x60 VESA
10. 90x40 CRT
11.100x30 VESA

Don't forget 100x30 VESA

I'm back again.....
The next release is delayed...trying to translate everything to pmode...

Gambino,Let me know if you need help, or maybe you could be one of the first to use "MOP" ,stand's for Module Os Project ?.
You can use the modules (include files), at compile time to get into pmode and setup gdt, idt, a20, etc, just by just including some inc files, all coded in fasm.
let me know if you want to use them.

ASHLEY4.

And here is a new version XBIOC v0.5 Alpha.
Actualy i "forgot" to release this version because of the severe bugs caused by the procedures macros....
But here it is....

Bugs:
1. when running plasma demo the screen may or not restore properly
2. when running hdd the computer may or not freeze ( u must restart if it freezes)
3. when running dir the computer may or not freeze ( u must restart if it freezes)

CAUTION: For testing the dir function you need that your primary partition to be FAT16 ( FAT32 still not supported ).

Have Fun

Gambino, May be you could enter a compat ver of XBIOC, in the 512b compo .
