Sander & Timza OS

Hi Timza,
I always wanted to make an OS. Thank you for helping me with it!
For projectmanagement reasons,
lets make lists:
1. Hardware

• Nice outer case
  
• CPU
  
• Address Bus
  
• I/O Port
  
• Memory - 256k
  
• Data Plug
  
• E2 function chips
  
• HDD - Flash Memory(EEPROM) - 128kb(max) - maybe multi drive or RAID
  

2. Peripherals

• GPU
  
• Wired Keyboard
  

3. Software

• CPU - Memory management(read/write)etc.
  
• CPU - Multiprocess support & Scheduling
  
• CPU - I/O management & Diskscheduling
  
• CPU - Security
  
• GPU - Writing to Screen
  
• E2 - Interface & Interaction (Functions)
  
• E2 - Sound System
  

To make a good product and keep sight on the whole project we build in phases:
Phase 0:

• Manage this project
  
  • Date Assigned: 13-08-09
    
  • Date Finished: N.A.
    
  • Status: Assigned to Sander, 20%
    

Phase 0.5:

• Mind up possible functions
  
  • Date Assigned: 24-08-09
    
  • Date Finished: N.A.
    
  • Status: Assigned to Timza, 0%
    

Phase 1:

• Building the PC case.
  
  • Props restricted: HL2, Portal, PHX3 (with super flat plates)
    
  • Max size: lets say PHX 1x1x0.50
    
  • Date Assigned: 13-08-09
    
  • Date Finished: 15-08-09
    
  • Status: Done by Sander, 100%
    

Phase 2:

• Placing the Hardware (Case Interior)
  
  • Date Assigned: 16-08-09
    
  • Date Finished: 16-08-09
    
  • Status: Done by Sander, 100%
    

Phase 3:

  • Date Assigned: 17-08-09
    
  • Date Finished: N.A.
    
  • Status: Assigned to Sander, 90%
    

Phase 4:

  • Date Assigned: 24-08-09
    
  • Date Finished: N.A.
    
  • Status: Reassigned to Sander, 2%
    

Phase 6:

• Programming Functions (CPU)
  
  • Date Assigned: 24-08-09
    
  • Date Finished: N.A.
    
  • Status: Assigned to Sander, 0%
    

Phase 7:

• Programming Functions (E2)
  
  • Date Assigned: N.A.

The Hardware

This is the very hard part of making an OS.
Understanding what part does what thing and the intercommunication between them.
I found a short summary of an OS program: pdf
I also find this a very informative site: site link

Here is my own made flowchart for Conundrum OS:



GPU chart is to come

a GPU can't give output because GPU is clientside. We'll need something serverside to read the clientside data.

Solution:

GPU: mov #1337,eax
E2 : Out = GPU[1337] #wirelinked GPU
