From a OS Dev point of view, there is little difference between a p2 233MHZ or a p4 2.7GHZ, as the parts we have to use like vesa, floppy, atapi etc, run the same.
And most people will only try new OS on old PC. _________________ \\\\||//// (@@) ASHLEY4. Batteries not included, Some assembly required. |

No real need to support real/unreal mode. If done properly, a pure 32-bit OS could be as easy/fun (and even better) to program for as DOS.

bubach is right, if you have a flat memory address, and you have a full range of functions, a 32bit pmode OS could be easier and more fun than Dos

Yes i know, its been 921 days since the last post, but i saw it today!
I'd like to add that i think that DOS is still in nowdays a great way to learn asm, and to expiremented with asm. |

I wrote the above when i was called "ASHLEY4", I still agree with what i wrote and i hope to prove it with DexOS.

I found this the other week which looks pretty good to me.
If anyone wants to peek at the download. I put the GURU.EX file into my C:\ folder and let it search through every string in every file in my machine. Looks pretty speedy to me, 32bit dos with no memory limits, and the syntax is like java. http://www.rapideuphoria.com/ |

my brother is messing with ARM, he has three 486's connected into LAN under DOS (!!!) - "why should I need something more, these three babes mekes for me all I need" - he says, and IMO, he is right so 486's are still in use these days |

> my brother is messing with ARM
ARM or ASM (or the ARMY ) ?
> he has three 486's connected into LAN under DOS Maybe you could test compatibility of some my code occasionally ? |

That goe's for segmented MZ's too. Even though hardly anybody uses DOS as thier prefered OS, it's legacy still remains on the latest versions of windows |
