The resulting product would be fine, but to get things started in the current context you should aim low. 1 processor. More over, a specific processor and architecture (PC Pentium I?). Also, a small set of devices: ROM, RAM, keyboard, screen. That was the ADX project approach. Even thou they missed the Ada-France contest, I still think they did something (guys?) and that the approach was the correct one for an hobby OS. -- , M A R I O data miner, LIACC, room 221 tel 351+226078830, ext 121 A M A D O Rua Campo Alegre, 823 fax 351+226003654 A L V E S P-4150 PORTO, Portugal mob 351+939354002
