Is it possible for somebody to make a Hello World without using any
interrupts? The idea would be to have a program that works the same in
DOS or Linux. I read something about the in and out instructions,but
I don't get the stuff about ports and all. How would I know which port?

You mean like this ?
For real mode.
Code:
mov ax,0xB800mov es,axmov si,msg0mov di,(80 * 1 + 2) * 2mov cx,25cldrep movsb;some more code heremsg0:              db " H E L L O   W O R L D ! "     

Needs to be a bit differant for pmode (linux).
NOTE: also linux exit its programs differant and users differant file formats.

dual is a quick hack that creates a Hello World binary that can run, withouth modification, on both Linux and MS-DOS/Windows systems. That is, it is both an ELF and DOS COM executable at the same time. get the source or the 150byte binary.

2: without OS calls, you must write to video memory yourself. and linux disallows you to do this, it forces you to use call to OS (or driver)

What I don't get is how they make booters that do stuff without an OS !
That's so cool.

What's the problem with that? You just have to move something from disc into RAM.

How on earth would you load it before the OS starts?
It would be cool if I had some kind of ASCII decoration that shows up when I turn the PC on.

The Basic Input Output System is always loaded in memory, is like a very simple OS used to boot the computer and load another program (usually on the disk memory) wich loads the OS.
The BIOS services are explained on http://www.ctyme.com/rbrown.htm
For me it woult be cool if the PC booted so fast that i don´t have time to read any ASCII decoration Smile

Yes,but most people don't these days from what I hear. They
don't make PCs with floppy drives much anymore.
I like floppies,but they get damaged easily.
but still,putting a program on a floppy disk wouldn't do anything unless
you had it boot DOS and run a COM file. That's pretty neat,but you're still depending on an OS to do that.

hi 2

you might wanna try booting from cd/cd-rw?
you can burn a boot cd with 1.44MB emulation, and boot the floppy image.

There is no Dos, just your own OS, you code yourself, to run the file .

You mean it's possible to burn a floppy image to a CD and actually boot from it?! That does change things. I'll remember that.

You open up your burn cd software, click on the make bootable, it will ask for a image. Point it to your bootable floppy image, it will add 2 files to the cd both .bin
You can add more stuff to the cd ( but you will not beable to get to it, with out a atapi driver from your boot code).
That all there is to it, you can also do the same with a hdd image (must be able to fit on the cd).

Of course,that assumes you're using the correct software to burn these CDs. Now booting a hard drive image from the CD sounds like an idea.
It's so cool!

BTW,I was looking at DexOS,I might try it sometime.
Always busy doing something.

I program the 6502 CPU as well as intel. I use a cool simulator to
do things. Right now I'm working on something really creepy in DOS.
