Interesting project. Have you been able to try it on actual hardware yet? What’s the minimum RAM?

Yes, some people have contributed screenshots: os8088.com/hardware

256kb is the official minimum amount of RAM. 128KB should work but that's just going to let you run the kernel and some very basic built in apps.

So essentially like the original Mac in 1984. ;) 128KB of RAM is just too little to run the OS and applications at the same time with any kind of performance. But once the 512KB model came along, then things started to really swing.

		Yes, it has been really interesting running into the same blockers that the engineers building early operating systems must have ran into as well.

I was able to boot the 1.44MB floppy image on my PS/2, but the mouse doesn't work.

		I have serial mouse support right now (auto detected on COM1/COM2), but PS/2 mouse support is coming. Someone was even able to get it running on a PC Transporter on an Apple IIGS. One of these: https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/setting-up-a-pc-trasporter-on-...
