I'm actually some what involved in the DexOS project. Ver 6 was just released. http://www.dex-os.com/ It's not much like your project, it's all as...

Unless you change the pointer register, it's what ever the video card maker decided to burn to the video bios.

If it works in several emulators and on hardware, then you have found one of the bugs or places where emulation under Virtual PC isn't 100%

:?: How long does it take to make an OS? :idea: ... In 1981 Microsoft bought the rights and source code to qdos and has been adding functionality to it ever since. There are points in development when enough has been added that the ver number gets bumped up a bit or there has been enough of a rewri...

It's mostly a matter of finding the base of the video memory and then ( X * BitsPerPixel )+( Y * BitsPerPixel * PixelsPerLine)+ BaseOfVideoMemory A google search of 'putpixel asm' will get you lots of exam...

Games, CAD, CAM, 3d Animation, Engineering apps and a few other things go a lot faster. Besides people like the fastest new gizmo....

Guess this is the place for an intro. Programming is just an off and on hobby. Landed here looking for some cd bootloader info (found answer else where). Mostly of late I've been playing around and attempting to write some add on stuff for DexOS. I really enjoyed your OS tut's. 46 years old, mostly ...
