The VPC compatibility bug has been fixed in this new demo, and the demo builds off of the code in the chapter and last demo to read sectors from disk using our new DMAC interface.

Hello everyone,

Neptune, our in-house operating system software suite, has moved to http://www.brokenthorn.com/mos/site2/ . We are keeping the original site up as well, but from now on all updates will be on the new site. Because this is a new site, some links might not work.

We are also requesting comments and suggestions about the look and feel of the main site. What do you like about it? What don't you ...
