I was wondering about the (non-cpu) hardware emulation/virtualisation,
etc.
This includes:
* display card
* disk drive
* network card
* sound card
* etc
Are there any plans on rewriting certain things so it can be more easily
extended?
We still need some kind of generic guest <-> host communication system
for guest os specific (hardware) drivers.
Also, I haven't had the time yet to work on it, but I was thinking about
a "growable" harddisk (so if you create a new harddisk image with size 2
Gig, you'll end with an initial harddisk file of a couple of Kb's that
"grows" as soon as something is written to a sector.)
Maybe, we can make a "TODO" list with stuff that "only" you/people who
have "deep" knowledge of the virtualisation process can work on and
things "others" also can work on (I've got the feeling that there a few
people doing "all" the work, because "others" (like me) sometimes think
they need to know a lot about the virtualisation process. If we could
make a list of things that don't require "deep" knowledge of
virtualisation then it might be easier for people like me to start
working on parts of plex86). .. hope this makes sence?
