Hi!

Has anybody experiences with i286 (or i386) Processors in the protected
mode? I would like to write applications in C (under MS-DOS if possible)
and let them run in the protected mode. Now, how to create the different
segment-descriptors right? (Is this the matter of a loader, I should
write first?)

(My aim is a XINU-Based OS with virtual memory management, running in
the protected mode, of course!)

Please help! Any hint is really appreciated.

REPLY BY E-MAIL, I WILL RESUME THE FINDINGS..
