I have been trying this a couple of times, and realized that when I tried an automatic stringing method in my interrupt (and anywhere else for that matter), I get Error 13 from my OS which is the "General Protection Fault Exception", and I'm not sure why.

Here's the code that I've done for the interrupt version with the string method that my OS doesn't like:

Code:

        mov ax, 10h
        mov ds, ax
        mov ebx, 0B8000h
        mov si, TimerEnabled
        strloop:
                lodsb
                mov byte [ds:ebx], al
                inc ebx
                mov byte [ds:ebx], 1Bh
                cmp ax, 0
                je done
                inc ebx
                inc ax
                jmp strloop
done:
        ret

I'm wondering if I'm exceeding my allotted amount of memory and have to write in info to set up the A20 line... oh well.

Again, thank you for your time and sorry if I am being bothersome to any of you all.

EDIT: Man... I just keep shootin' myself in the foot, don't I?
I replaced the "ret" with "iret", and it worked perfectly!

I guess I thought since done is a standard label, not an interrupt to its own right that I could just use ret... Embarassed

Hello rhyno_dagreat,

The best advise that I can give you at this point:

When I play the saxophone on my (musical)keyboard, I have to think/play like a saxophone-player; Of course nothing beats a real sax. Smile

Niels.

Thanks again Dex. BTW, I tried your OS, and may I say it's pretty freakin' awesome man. Keep up the good work!

Thanks,
The best advise that I can give you, is to keep doing what your doing and remember in Japan there is only one word for "learn" and that the same word they use for "to copy", your learning just the same way as we all learnt.
Also you only learn by getting mistakes and then fixing them.

@Dex4u, with all do respect for you:

I don't speak japanese, but I know the japanese-people as integer, honour, insight and wisdom.

So I do think a japanese-sensei would agree when I say:
Many people do copy, but didn't learn. Many will protect what is not understood.

ps.
I do agree, Dex4u, learning by example is the way to learn. Smile

Thank you all for the advice! It's all been taken to mind and heart and hopefully, I will be able to remember all I learn Razz
