Tiny OS that can run on X86 hardware off floppy disks or other media Very small OS that can run on X86 Hardware.
Good luck reading my terrible X86 ASM and C Fits on anything from a 320K Floppy to a 1.44MB Floppy (i however ONLY make 1.44MB Images, as i only have 1.44MB floppies).
I work on this in my spare time, Good luck reading my terrible X86 ASM and C (my C code is ok, x86 ASM however...).
I am designing it for older computers such as a i486 or i386 system i would recomend atleast a i586 (Pentium) however. I work on this in my spare time so don't really expect much work being done to it 24/7.

Thats it. Also some tools for the FAT filesystem (host system).
oh and a shell too. Kernel is currently INDEV.

## How do I Test Builds? ## How do I Test Builds?
Hardware tesing is done on a Pentium 2 @ 300MHz with 192MB of Ram (Panasonic Toughbook CF-27 MKII). Early Hardware tesing was done on a Pentium 2 @ 300MHz with 192MB of Ram (Panasonic Toughbook CF-27 MKII).
Testing is also done with QEMU and BOCHS! It has now moved to my main laptop, a Dell Latitude D610, (2GB RAM, 1.6GHZ Pentium M).
Testing is also done with QEMU and previously BOCHS (not anymore cuz it almost crashes my system if I even think about running it).
## Thanks
