I ran this program, and it did not run for me. What I get is a black on green 0d on the left side of the sreen just below your logo. The cursor is in about the middle of the screen, but the floppy keeps spinning, and no time is being displayed.

I stripped the program and just left che cursor move code in, the same thing occurs. What I expected at the very least, is the floppy to stop spinning. So, I am not sure what the problem is.

Mike,
Below is a small snippet, which seems to work. The problem is that when I try to use int 1Ah or int 16h, it seems to corrupt the program. There is also a problem with the keyboard int, that also seems to corrupt. The int 10h seems to behave like it's supposed too.

;MyClock.asm

use32
org 100000h

; mov eax, 86h*256
; mov edx, 3000000
; int 15h

;;;This starts the interrupt process
mov eax, 0ffh*256+50h
mov ebx, timer_hook
int 15h
mov [continue], eax

; mov ah, 02h
; int 1Ah
; mov al, ch
; shr al, 4
; add al, "0"
; mov [clock], al
; and ch, 0fh
; add ch, "0"
; mov ah, 2
; xor ebx, ebx
; mov edx, 12*256+36
; int 10h
; mov eax, 86h*256
; mov edx, 3000000
; int 15h
jmp exit

;;;This is a slave loop
timer_hook:

jmp timer_hook


show_time:

ret

;;;This necessary for a clean return
exit:
mov eax, 0ffh*256+50h
mov ebx, [continue]
int 15h
int 20h
retnd


continue: dd 0
second: dd 18
clock: db "00:00:00"
times 8 db 8
db 0

I just tried out the new progs, and they work. I assume that int 20 is the same as doing a retnd, which is needed for a clean return of an app. So far your aeBIOS seems to be running smoothly, now on to some other testing.

I guess the next thing to consider is creating a bootable HD, at some point some people might want to work from an HD.

Thanks

I have some code below where I am trying to include a cli as a task. The problem with the code below is, the floppy keeps spinning. It seems when it tries to do the keyboard int 16, the program does not work the way I expect it to work. Now is there a problem with my programming technique, or is there a subtle problem with aeBIOS?

I would sure like to see some simple code that runs more than one task, maybe that would put me on the right track.

Thanks
