Let's say "hello world". > That's where hardware interrupts and "chaining" my own interrupt routines It sounds to me like the OP is making a project to learn with. If he wants to learn about hardware interrupts, 16 bit DOS is a good place to start, though he will need a suitable compiler. If he wants to learn about device drivers in big, modern, OSes then Linux or Windows should be good platforms, but are a lot more complicated than simple real-mode interrupts. If he wants to experiment with networked computers, OTOH, then appendix E Distributed Systems is much easier. What platforms do they use in CS classes to teach interrupts and such?
