;
; ASSUMPTIONS:
;
; 1. The bottom 64K of memory is ram, and can be used for
; scratch space by this module.
;
; 2. The system has sufficient free usable ram to copy the
; initial GDT, IDT, and TSS
;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; configuration data - must match with build definition

CS_BASE EQU 0FFFF0000H
; CS_BASE is the linear address of the segment STARTUP_CODE
; - this is specified in the build language file

RAM_START EQU 400H
; RAM_START is the start of free, usable ram in the linear
; memory space. The GDT, IDT, and initial TSS will be
; copied above this space, and a small data segment will be
; discarded at this linear address. The 32-bit word at
; RAM_START will contain the linear address of the first
; free byte above the copied tables - this may be useful if
; a memory manager is used.

TSS_INDEX EQU 10
; TSS_INDEX is the index of the TSS of the first task to
; run after startup
