Special Thanks
Some kind humans have tried to contribute portions of code to Solar_OS.
Their code is not used in Solar_OS but anyway
I would like to thank them here for their kind intentions and time spend with Solar_OS:
Pellailo
- FASM port on Sol_OS (proof of concept)
Smiddy
- better BIOS memory detection code
Jordan McGreevy -- aka cyberkill04uk
- Skins
- initial preemtive watchdog on IRQ-0
Dreq -- aka digitalneo
- Made some new mouse bitmaps: arrow and resize pointers.
"Mr Sentient" aka sentient@daztro.no-ip.com

He has sent me some very interesting ATA-4 code in ASM,
A fair thank you to many other guys that helped us testing and had interesting suggestions.
