Floppy Disk Image Loading #11

Open schuylermartin45 opened 7 years ago

schuylermartin45 commented 7 years ago

It should be possible to load image data off of the floppy disk when needed, instead of embedding it into the OS. An image buffer will still need to be baked into the OS but the image data could be hot-swapped by reading the image data off of the floppy. I believe this can be done with the BIOS interrupt calls.

The real trick/pain-point is figuring out the build process for the floppy/usb images. I'm not sure how you'd address and place the image data on the disk.
