Forth on x86

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-24 12:23

I know there are a few forth users here. So Im wondering what would happen if you installed forth on an x86 PC with no operating system, how much of forth could you run? I know forth is used to test a lot of embedded systems, but I dont understand how you can work with forth if you dont have graphics drivers for using a keyboard and screen as well as other IO drivers like you have in C libaries. What is the minimum to get a working forth system going?

I/O is a BIOS thing at that level. Don't worry about it.
