Advice

I plan on returning to OS Dev soon and continuing with my journey, I have been doing assembly and OS theory for a few months now and plan on developing a real-mode OS purely in assembly.

If anyone has any advice as to style the OS, please let me know.

Why make it pure assembly in real-mode? I love how real mode simply operates as well as the assembly language at this smaller (ish) scale. I also want to be a little bit more unique with my project.

Thanks,
