Bringing things back to reality:
Options 1, 2, and 3 do not exist and are not likely to exist for a
few years even after somebody actively starts working on them.
Options 1 and 2 can not
Hi,
I have to admit the difference between what I'd like to see and what I
think it is likely to happen.
I had found Japheth's work promising towards a good VMM, but apparently
doesn't seem to be under active development, I find the task would be so
huge (need to rewrite 32-bit versions of
Thank you very much, Vidók!

You are really providing links to me about how protected mode works? I am
somewhat amused.
Your new OS has to be able to arbitrate between conflicts caused by the
multiple running VDMs. If two programs running at the same time choose to
access the same I/O ports how are you going to handle
To maybe summarize and make the task list a bit more concrete.
Goals for FD 1.2
* Update kernel (release 2042?)
* Update apps
* Update translations
* Update installer
* Update/Standardize on mTCP and FDNPKG
* Live-CD with installer
* Floppy-based installer
Possible Goals for FD 2.0
* USB-drive
Like others have said, anything (like the fictitious 64-bit DPMI)
which has 1) little or no working code as of today
(precedent/compatibility/feature parity with MS 3.3/6.22), 2) has a
high a degree of complexity (achieveable), 3) requires a large
dedication of man-hours to complete, 3) has little

Correct. I never said this was something which could be thrown together
overnight. I
It is a little silly to keep talking about a 32 bit kernel on the
roadmap when such an option does not exist.
I see your point, however if that attitude was taken during the
initial formative discussions of the existing FreeDOS kernel... it
never would have been made. ;-) At that point the
I have to say, I love the idea of a 64-bit DPMI. That's an area in
which we would have total creative freedom because (unless I've
missed the news) nobodyhas made such a thing yet. The only problem
is that I haven't been able to find a whole lot of info on 64-bit long mode.
Sounds good to me. :)
