    ^ This... I am the "llm-driver"/"creator" for os8088 and my goal is this. Just to have some fun and make something useful for people (like me) that have dozens of old computers sit…

    Yes, agree. I laughed at that when I first saw it last week. I went ahead and cleared all that up on the homepage and the README now.

    "Author" of os8088 here. That's no longer the case. Someone that is contributing to the project is using real hardware to validate the changes. You can check out some of the system…

    We have built in driver support now, so we will be adding network driver support soon. We just added hard drive support that is potentially a bit buggy...

    "Author" of os8088 here. I love seeing what these early limited system could do! Someone shared a video of GOS with me after seeing what os8088 looked like. I believe os8088 also b…

    "Author" of os8088 here. You're right, it's hand-prompted. Claude's Opus and Fable have done a really great job helping me and another contributor shape this operating system. It's…

    Author of the AI written os8088 OS here... Thanks for sharing the promotional video for Visi On. It's cool to see how many different companies gave this a shot back in the 80s.
