What do you mean, he can't get it integrated? TheMasterSwordsman, care to explain? Last I checked, keyboard drivers were completely standardized (don't know about the one's with fancy extra buttons). Or am I misinterpreting the situation?

I didn't say I won't finish, I just said I am hitting a roadblock, but I'm researching how to set it up.

Wow, that sounds great, glad to hear your still going through with it. sorry your encountering a problem though. how important will the keyboard be when the alpha is finished?
Hopefully, it will be your swiss army knife of all input devices.

No, not really, but it hasn't been 3 months (the time when the topic is proclaimed dead, this one expires next month... or at least, now it doesn't). So, anyway, I just wanted to say that this project is NOT dead, I am announcing that I have leaped past the part I couldn't figure out (I just pasted something wrong... damn it, what is wrong with me?!) which left me at the part where I code the simplest parts: The keyboard driver and the Programmable Interval Timer (PIT, the chip that can time signals sent to hardware at intervals). I can use the PIT to display uptime, as well... the PIT counts each processor "tick" as its units. 18.222 ticks is one second (ask the IBM engineer why he used 18.222 or what he was smoking...), so that means if I use the ticks to determine uptime, I can determine down to the second how long the kernel has been running.
Anyway, since Takuya seemed to abandon me because of the project's downtime... I just wanted to say: You'll all have an operating system to enjoy after a while... and if someone could point Schwa to this thread--after I get a basic library working--I want to implement his text version of Chess he's been playing in Message Board Games as a standard part of Emerald--I can't wait to jump on this project. Or, in PC ASM, that's "jmp" on it.
