It has a console, and a bootloader, and it can boot itself, and it can REBOOT!

What's it written in?

ASM because I'm stupid.

What's it run on?
I got an old P133 doing nothing.

\o/ a console that can reboot. Give it the commands cd, delete, and disconnect, and you can play Uplink!

You dont mean CGA.

Well, it WOULD work on MDA...

That's not the point, you mean a 80x25 character ASCII display, CGA is at least 320x200 pixel 4 colour display.

Umm. . . CGA had two text modes. 40×25 and 80x25, so he was entirely correct in his statement.

Why use Windows XP when you can use Luigi300's GoatseOS?

Ever saw those terminals they use in The Matrix? That's CGA green!
