Hello everyone, For those who have been following our OS Development Series, the next tutorial is up! I decided to split this tutorial into two parts to decrease size and so that we can focus on one thing at a time. Tutorial 10: Prepare for the Kernel Part 1 This tutorial covers basic VGA Graphics in 32 bit mode. It covers:

Printing characters at any x/y location

Displaying strings in protected mode

Clearing the screen

Basic VGA Theory

CRT MicroController - Updating the hardware cursor

This tutorial includes a demo that is built on the previous demos. The next tutorial is not going to be an actual 'tutorial' of sorts. Instead, it will be more of an overview of everything we covered so far, along with the new code that creates a very basic FAT12 and Floppy interfaces, and loads the Kernel at 1 MB. The new code in the next tutorial is basically a modified version of the code from the bootloader, which is why I will not be explaining everything in detail again--but rather, reviewing it. For anyone who is interested in this series, but has not started yet, please see the base site for the series. It is located here: OSDev Series Base Site If there are any questions, comments, or suggestions, please let me know[smile] Thanks, ~Mike();

Though I'd still prefer this information in the osdev.net wiki, I have to admit that your tutorials are indeed very good!

Great work, keep it up!
