More likely due to threading model (DOS doesn't have any). > Alternatively, have fun with http://ipxe.org Other options which might have some NIC drivers: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/ http://www.coreboot.org/ > People are more than welcome to start writing IDE/ASPI driver, an UNDI > packet driver, specific network card packet drivers, drivers for sound > cards etc. Drivers are usually written according to a specification. > Extracting a specification from an implemented (open source) driver > *stack* is quite difficult. Again I suggest getting in touch with Rosetta OS: http://code.google.com/p/rosetta-os/ RTEMS landed there some info about NIC drivers ported from BSD: http://code.google.com/p/rosetta-os/wiki/RTEMSLibBSDNicDrivers Not sure the threading model used will help porting though.
