OS interface?
Can anyone explain the mechanics of how an OS interfaces with the hardware circuits in a PC or Mac? What exactly is the mechanism?
The OS translates code into Machine, assembly, binary etc but how does that actually tell the chip set which pins to fire, which to close, etc? Or which circuits on the board(s) to open, close, etc?
Especially considering the OS exists IN THE HARDWARE once the ISO is loaded???
