OS/4 kernel and extended KEE
OS4User:
Started from ver 4032 OS/4 kernel will load clock03b.sys instead of clock01.sys.
Clock03b uses Extended KEE, which includes KernSetIRQ and KernEOI (http://ru2.halfos.ru/core/docs/keeOS4.html)
Clock03b contains two drivers CLOCK$ and TIMER0$ so timer0.sys no more needed, it will not be loaded any way even if it will not be removed from config.sys
As you may guess Clock03b has two _32_ bit only interrupt service routines (for IRQ0 and IRQ8).
Clock03b has many advantages comparative to pair clock01 + timer0 - it is based on source code from clock01 by Tsurgaev A.V. (Цургаев А.В.)
For those who is brave enough here is a link to download and test it. http://ru2.halfos.ru/core/downloads/kernel/os4/os2krnlSVN4032_unoff.zip

A bug is fixed (freezing before switching to graphic mode) http://ru2.halfos.ru/core/downloads/kernel/os4/os2krnlSVN4033_unoff.zip

I gave this (4033) a try and when booting I get this error: 'File not found or corrupted: acpi4.sys'. I don't have this file (eCS 2.1). It seemed to work well for about 5 minutes, but then my desktop froze and I had to hard reset. Is there anything in particular you want tested?

acpi4.sys is optional - system just will not use it.

It would be great if you could show com port log, especially at the moment of such freeze.

Nothing special just stability and working in general.
