Dawn operating system

Wilksey: on the disk, the first 256 mbyte is the os itself, the rest is the file system.  os image goes to memory address 0, execution starts at 0.

What interface? SATA, IDE, USB Flash, SD?

hardware interface implementations are not part of the specifications in any way, but i suggest SD card. start - help - hardware.txt for more information.

You funny.

So much faster than x86! SD card for storage.

Well I'll accept that one, as it is April 1st, in some parts of the world.

UHS-II supports data rates up to 312MB/s, and twice that in the next version of the specification. That puts it roughly on par with SATA and has the same queuing and reordering features.

SATA is a slug by modern standards, and those UHS-II cards cost at least twice as much as substantially faster SATA SSDs.

sd cards seems to be the easyest, cheapest, and the most realible and most generic solution to deal with, i would not suggest to try doing sata aniway, becouse the disk handling system is not much fine tuned yet, it will not yet able to do beyond generic sd card speeds aniway.
