This is amazing, good work!

Can I ask what references you used to figure out how to write certain pieces of this? There is a torrent of information online, but you've probably got a very good (curated) set of links or books that you recommend.

Well, I've never read a real book about OS development. But I can recommend the OSDev Wiki and Forum, and of course the specifications of everything you need. I've used Intel's Development Manual Volume 3 as reference, as well as ACPI's specification, and some others.
