I love it, but i think the video from "the oldskool pc" is a bit inprecise in claiming it brings everything necessary to implement features like reading off the disk: now maybe I have overlooked something but how are you going to put something into eax and then do int 80h? the only interupts in the codebase are 10 and 16, so i assume it is a challenge for the reader to implement anything that has to do with hardware, though a universal api to do interrupts would be nice in the core language
- jart 5y agoI think the Oldskool PC channel did a good job covering the topic. He started writing his own boot sector operating systems from scratch to make that video. When you do that, you start seeing something like SectorLISP more as a kit that lets you take these beautiful universal equations that John McCarthy discovered, and then you fill in the blanks yourself in terms of systems implementation details. SectorLISP isn't intended to be a shrink-wrapped solution (and The Oldskool PC channel has excellent videos about shrink-wrap too!) So I do think the video is accurate and I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
- mlatu 5y agoas i said i love it, its just, when he said everything was ready, i thought the function to trigger whichever interrupt you want was included in the 436 bytes, at least there is plenty room to implement something, again: i love it edit: there is always mr brown to help us out : http://ctyme.com/rbrown.htm http://ctyme.com/rbrown.htm
