Has anybody experiences with i286 (or i386) Processors in the protected mode? I would like to write applications in C (under MS-DOS if possible) and let them run in the protected mode. Now, how to create the different segment-descriptors right? (Is this the matter of a loader, I should write first?) (My aim is a XINU-Based OS with virtual memory management, running in the protected mode, of course!) Please help! Any hint is really appreciated.
