Very small OS that can run on X86 Hardware.
Designed to run from just one 1.44MB floppy disk, ATA support coming soon! (TM)

Good luck figuring out the spagetti code i write... (sorry not sorry ;D)

Designed for older computers such as a Pentium (i586) Class Machine. I would recomend atleast a Pentium 2 Class System or higher however.

## Features
- Bootloader
- Basic Memory Paging
- Support for Floppy Disk Drives (FDDs)
- Basic Serial (RS-232) Support
- Keyboard Input

Note:Kernel is currently under very heavy development.
All things are subject to change at any time.

## Building
You Basically Run `./build.sh` to build it

If you wanted to write it to a floppy disk you can use `write.sh` tho be careful as the value for what drive it uses is hard coded as /dev/sdb

### Build Requirements
- mtools
- make
- gcc (or really any C compiler)
- NASM

## How is Testing Done
Testing is mostly done with QEMU These days, but I do sometimes pull out my Dell Latitude D610 to test on (for anyone wondering its completely maxed out. [2GB of ram Pentium M @ 2.23GHz])
