Here is a link to a floppy image of my OS

I need you to test it and report me bug (if there is)
the floppy image : http://xos.freezee.org/downloads/xosimg033.tar.gz

the source code
http://xos.freezee.org/downloads/xossrc_23092004.tar.gz


the OS is in french ... I'm actually working on an english translation

use : setkeymap en to switch to english (qwerty) keyboard (not 100% supported)

oh ... X-OS is not a program, you CANNOT run if from DOS or windows
if you want to launch it, use a floppy image writer here is a link to a free disk image writer
ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/redhat/9/en/os/i386/dosutils/rawrite.exe

then you must download the XOS floppy image and uncompress it

then you must to type this command to write the floppy disk image to the floppy disk :
rawrite -f xos.img

(xos.img is the name of the uncompressed image / rawrite will erase any data in the floppy)

now you have a XOS floppy disk , all you have to do is to reboot your PC with this floppy.


if you are a linux user
-download the XOS sources and uncompress it.
-become root
-insert a floppy disk
-type : make install (if the floppy uses fat12 no data will be erased ;) )
-reboot ur pc with this floppy

u can write a floppy driver without DMA IO operations will be too slow, using DMA allow you to read entire sectors on an allocated zone of memory , but without DMA, you must read byte by byte ...

I have a small function in my driver that enables dma.
for a floppy driver u don't need more ;)
