DiskOS
DiskOS is a simple 32bit [maybe 64bit] operating system created for a school project. Its first purpose was to communicate with ATA hard drives in order to send commands to them, but in the future I plan on adding more functionalities to it, like paging, file system support, and maybe even a GUI.
DiskOS is mostly based on Queso Fuego's AmateurOS.
