    Yay, I guess? It's impressive that AI can build something like this, but do you really understand how all the components work?

    AI is really good an taking what we already know and producing something that works, but what about new innovations?

    With all that said, this is still pretty cool.

    os8088 is an operating system written with AI tools in x86 16-bit assembly with an optional C/C++ app porting toolchain.

    It runs on anything with an x86 processor from the early 8088/8086 CPUs up to the latest CPUs. It supports CGA/Hercules + VGA. Sound Blaster, NE2000 network and MFM hard drive support is now available.

    We've also ported many cool apps: MOD trackers, TexPad, MS Word 1.1a (in ASM and C), CP/M 2.2 emulator with a ton of apps and games, and several ported games from the early arcade days.

    Run it in the browser at: https://os8088.com/demo

    Yes, the website has a lot of AI generated content. I'm working on a redesign and tooling to edit and rewrite the content by hand.

      Interesting project. Have you been able to try it on actual hardware yet? What’s the minimum RAM?
