Hi all, Just few comments to BIOS ROMs. Please do use C to write most of the BIOS. Use assembly just for a trampoline to C (compile code for 16bit code, relative to one segment?). The BIOS could be 64KB in size.IMHO the LGPLed BIOS from bochs/qemu could be used to get full implementation of VGA, rest could be added to this existing code base.
Assembly is nice, but for smaller projects. The maintainability of code will suffer a lot when only in assembly. I can help with the BIOS development as I stated last year or so, but I will need to find some time for that. Anyway I wrote this year LinuxBIOS support for my chipset/motherboard so perhaps I'm qualified to help ;)
