I know some of the code is already there but I need comments since I am not
an expert or even a real advanced programmer in assembly. Also, the beauty
of running a simulator is that hardware resources are not as much of a
problem so I more to fill in the gaps for the stuff I am unsure of. My
personal assembly "bible " covers some systems programming but not all. I
will have to share the title of the book when I am near it. It is available
on Amazon. What my plans are is to make a simple OS with a dual command set
using both the RT-11 command line interface and RSX style DCL. Just
something fun to play with....
