Merging link pages
As discussed in Talk:Quick Links, there are many pages with links to useful sites, and it would be useful to merge them into one page, here. Many of those are part of Category:Pages For Review.
The pages that are proposed for the merge are:
A proposed layout of sections (each with the appropriate links):
- Operating System General
- Operating System Development
- Hardware Specifications
- Processors
- Motherboard Devices
- Human Input Devices
- Video
- Audio
- Network
- ...
- Software Specifications
- Other Specifications
- Sample Kernels
All comments are welcome (especially nods of approval :)

- No objections here. --Alboin
I completed merging the pages listed above. All links in specifications appeared to be duplicates of quick links, I located Miscellaneous Code which might be viable for a merge as well. Pruned dead links:
- Advanced OS Development, includes 5 labs showing pmode, virtual memory, loading and running programs, etc. (UCLA)
- Kernelguys.org Kernel related resources collection
- interrupts and POST variables list, an alternative to ralf brown's interrupt list
- MS mouse protocol
- how mice work in general
- serial mouse demo program
- bkerndev
- quick overview of what realtime Operating Systems are (really) (not really dead, but close enough)
Fixups or confirmations that these are unrecoverable might be welcome. I invite people for a double-check and final comments before removing the original pages.

Operating System Programming Tools
I suggest we insure that everything in this section is in Category:Tools, and then remove the section. Anyone else have an opinion? -Jhawthorn 12:54, 26 June 2007 (CDT)
- Yes, I agree. The tool listing does not belong in the Resources page. - Combuster 16:57, 26 June 2007 (CDT)
Image tools
I'd like to see some more disk-image tools. The only one I know of that supports floppy disks is WinImage. --MessiahAndrw 23:44, 24 June 2007 (CDT)
- Have you checked Category:Disk Image Utilities? -Jhawthorn 00:06, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
Organization
Things to think about for organisation:
- Add pascal/ada/basic/whatever compilers?
- split compilers into realmode, pmode and longmode?
- Other architectures
how about tagging each compiler with what architecture (subset) it supports
- Combuster
Compiler Comparison
I think the compiler details like architecture supported should go in Tool_Comparison - Chase
