[colorforth] Demo Coding

Look at this!!

Wow!! Finally one thing I can share
openly with people of my age....
I want to enable them to do this easly,
by making it easy to understand,
for them as well as for me

I want to look into
realtime hashing algorithms.
md5/crc32 for full words,
but once again colorforth
comes to tempt me with its
limitative but distinctive
hashing algo...

This guy opened the door.
Let's go through it, so the fun begins!

Reprogramming the bios...
on minimal one need access to other non-RAM
memory (Hard/floppy/usb/network drive, IDE is easy)
and we patch the current one with our loader.
It has to do a bit of the bios' job, but the goal
is to rip the secrecy layer around pc hardware.
lets REALLY program the graphic boards ;p

Hi Albert,

The BIOS _should_ provide low-level access to your PC hardware.
To the extent that it does it can provide some very useful information.
I think the BIOS analyser is an excellent idea!
This would be especially useful for creating a Forth BIOS.
What a lovely concept...
