Thanks! It was a long time ago(tm) so my memory's dim (maybe even so-dim), but yeah the MM (and console) code were pretty much original. The VFS and filesystem code were cut down from contemporary Linux quite a bit. Never had any hardware with those exotic MMU's, so working with them never crossed my radar. Paging MMUs are still useful, one could just tell the memory allocator to place user space programs at 4K, or even 64K, boundaries. I realized last night (almost 30 years late!) that I should've implemented a BIOS-type interface (or modified EMS) to do memory mapping and then had a few different handlers (memory swapping, 286 and 386 LOADALLs, 386 v86 mode, etc) to choose from without messing with ELKS itself too much. Working on ELKS now has the great advantage that the emulated 8088 PC is now faster than the computers anyone had back in the 90's, and all of that emulation can easily fit in CPU caches.
