  24 Known Issues
  25 -------------------
  26
  27 Currently BMBB on early alpha stage. It can boot on hardware that do not require to enable A20 Line and requires at least 16M Ram.
  28 Kernel implements everything exept coroutine supporting. Implemented only keyboard and speaker drivers (see Host subsystem). That all.
  29 Currently graphics not supported, but implemented simple textmode Shell based on StdInterpreter. You can call Init.WinterWrapUp and enjoy music on you pc speaker. :)
