The BIOS code is based on commit https://github.com/skiselev/8088_bios/commit/027f3f130fc60dadfac087f334a0b95d02819363 from August 8th, 2022.
There are no significant changes in the code, such as a new functionality being implemented or any significant rewrites. It is mostly just comments, deletions, and minor changes.
Summary of the BIOS Changes
Book8088 Hardware Notes
Official Book8088 support has been added to 8088 BIOS. See https://github.com/skiselev/8088_bios/commit/ebcc587a16f84bff40e3a0daf06d85a6b13d0248
I've heard that there were complaints about GPL violations with the book8088 BIOS. To make examining the evidence easier, I've imported the source code a friend received after ordering one into a branch in my fork repo:
vendor/book8088
. (I have not myself ordered one.)As the parent I used the latest commit in the original code that was before the date in the new code's
config.inc
, so a diff with the parent should turn up mainly just the vendor changes.If you have questions about this import, it's better to contact me in text chat via Telegram (
@cjs_cynic
) or Discord (cjs#6537
).
