Video log
os8088 gets recorded as it is built. Every video below is one step of the same machine getting further along: the first boot into a desktop, the file system, the Task Manager, the Control Panel, loadable packages. The newest one at the top is the system on the demo page.
- I add a Control Panel and the ability to change multi-tasking modes
In this video I add a control panel and the ability to switch between co-operative and preemptive multi-tasking modes within the scheduler.
- Fixing Task Manager support for Packages on my IBM XT Operating System
In this video I show a fix I made to the IBM XT operating system I'm building where the task manager now shows the CPU and Memory usage of packaged applications.
- Adding more multi-tasking features with improved memory management
In this video I show the new additions to my retro operating system for old IBM XT PCs. I add a dock, a better memory management model and the ability to close kernel applications so that they don't eat up CPU cycles in...
- Claude and ChatGPT compete to build a Task Manager for my IBM XT OS
What happens when five different AI coding agents are given the same challenge: build a working task manager for a custom operating system running on an IBM XT?
- My retro OS just got upgraded with a file system, floppy disk access, a desktop and Minesweeper
After watching @adriansdigitalbasement2 's recent video where he showcased a new Minesweeper game for the Apple Lisa, I thought it would be cool to see if I could build an operating system for the 8088/8086 CPUs that...
- I built a new retro Mac-like OS for my IBM XT PC in 2 hours using Claude Code with Fable 5!
After watching @adriansdigitalbasement2 's recent video where he showcased a new Minesweeper game for the Apple Lisa, I thought it would be cool to see if I could build an operating system for the 8088/8086 CPUs that...
6 videos, newest first, read from the playlist itself and refreshed at least every 10 minutes. Nothing here is deployed with the site.
Watch it instead of watching it
A recording of an operating system is a poor substitute for the operating system. The same floppy image in every one of these videos boots in a browser tab, and the download page has it for QEMU, for 86Box and for a real XT.
