1997? The OSKit is old enough to go out and drink beer now, yikes.
They stopped development on it shortly after this, didn't they? Like within 4 years? It's easy to see why, given changes in the codebases that they pulled from (Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD) to support newer hardware.
It's been over 15 years but the impression I have is that the complexity and need for "glue" makes OSKit impractical for learning,and the dated nature of the drivers makes it impractical for cherry picking.
I wonder if we have anyone from the osdev community/forums here interested in commenting. It seems like the kind of thing they'd be very disapproving of[1].
