       Show HN: SpecOS - A 64 bit OS kernel from scratch
        
       I've been working on this for ~3 months now, with pretty slow
       progress to be honest. So far I've got an ATA PIO mode hard disk
       driver, a FAT32 file system, a real time clock driver, and of
       course the essentials (interrupts, keyboard, pixel graphics).
       Kernel panics also cause a blue screen of death xD. It uses a
       bitmap physical memory allocator, and I'm fixing some issues with
       paging at the moment as a work towards running userspace
       applications. I'd be interested to see your thoughts on it :D
