But I promised to release it on GitHub by the end of +the year, which is fast approaching, and I didn't really want to do this in December. + +I feel I've made pretty good progress on my goals for the year -- primarily EGA and PC AT support. PC AT machines +can boot and run in real-mode now, but there's still a lot of protected-mode work to do. The big remaining goal for +the year is to boot OS/2 1.0. + +There are also a lot of rough edges left to polish. Holes in EGA emulation remain to be filled (support for dynamically +loaded fonts is one of the bigger ones). And the PC AT Keyboard, along with the 8042 and Hard Disk controllers, are all +just limping along at the moment. + +Longer term, I'm looking forward to building some new tools, including an "IBM PC Configurator" that will take some +of the pain out of building your own bootable PCjs machine configurations, and make them easier to share, embed, etc. + +*[@jeffpar](http://twitter.com/jeffpar)* +*October 12, 2014* \ No newline at end of file
