Other than copyright questions STP pretty much is laid out (in how it works) just like I want. No NASM at all. Get memory going, get into
32-bit
mode, get into C in short order. It's really a good design.
"> I don't understand why you can't use directly vga cards bios????? I didn't mean computers
bios! Is there something memory stuff why we can't use cards bios? I can
browse my old
source archives to find my old vesa code (It worked with and without
dosextender).
We cannot because: 1) vga BIOS often uses main BIOS for some things, 2) vga BIOS is a 16bit code and AROS uses 32bit code (first 4 kb - the bootsector and setup file are in 16bit) 3) We have destroyed BIOS area in memory because we keep there other things 4) calling ANY bios (16 bit) would destroy multitasking and slow performance down a lot."
well i accept suggestions, anyway to improve this to take use of bios (openbios) ?
thanks in advance, jaime dias
