Do you want to write it in assembly or in C? How are you going to deal
with 32 bit code?

BIOS call guides?

I'd suggest that the bios switches to protected mode in a very early
state. This would allow to develop most of the code (except the setup
code) in C, which is sure what we want (At least I think so)

Before we start coding, we should start making plans about what we want
to do at all. I started that on my draft of a homepage.
When we have collected and discussed enough we can structure the whole
thing and *after that* we should start coding IMHO.

One question could be:
Do we want to support an Award compatible bios which has 16bit calls
or do we want to save up the space to implement newer features?

Best regards,
  Stefan
