Chapter 22 update - when??

[HeinanXP]

Hello,
I just want to know when the update for the chapter 22 will be uploaded? (The writing to a file tutorial) because I really need this to my OS (HeinanOS) because I want to release Milestone 2 and this is the only thing left for me to add.

If you really want to have Mike write the code that allows writing to the floppy drive, patience is a virtue.
This OS Development Series is being maintained in his spare time, which explains the (sometimes) long waits between updates.

If you don't want to wait, you can go ahead and try to turn a copy of the read file code to write data to a file, like some members here have already done.

The OS Development Series relies on the use of virtual machines, which are not always fully compatible with real hardware, as I found out when I tried reading from the floppy on real hardware.[/offtopic]

Hello,

I apologize for the series not being updated in some time; have been quite busy with other things. There are several updates planned for the series, including a release of the next chapter (single tasking) either this week and/or next week depending on how much free time I have.
