Computer works. My teacher says that it evolved out of simpler electronic equipment... probably operating systems evolved out of computer viruses in years of evolution.. and microprocessors evolved out of tamagotchi :cool:

Computer feeds on a low level programming language, sometimes it's called assembler. If you program in C++ language, compiler automatically converts your code to this low level code. This code is hardly readable by a human being, but you can use a disassembler or a debug program to see how it works from inside.

check out this tutorial for more.

you can create .bin file in any assembler or even Borland C compiler.

There is an option in emu8086 to write .bin files to any sector of a virtual floppy drive (that is "FLOPPY_0" file in Emu8086 folder) - here's how to get there by the menus: Emulator -> Show Emulator , Virtual Drive -> Write .bin file to floppy.

You need to select sector 2 for kernel, and sector 1 if it's a boot code.

after you wrote both .boot and .bin file to "FLOPPY_0", you can use RawWrite to write this file to a real floppy drive.

This information is based on this tutorial.
