↳ In-reply-to » Alright, I have a little 8086 assembler for my toy OS going now – or rather a proof-of-concept thereof. It only supports a tiny fraction of the instruction set. It was an interesting learning experience, but I don’t think trying to “complete” this program is worth my time.

Maybe with the very simplest of the easy ones it might be still reasonably straight forward

I did that and the compiled bootloader is now 439 bytes in size – the available space is 440 bytes. So, phew, it just fits now. 😂
