Thanks! I was going to go similar path you mentioned. Not 16-bit but in a way that is exe-like binaries and development with Visual Studio.

But it seemed to me that it is easier to support ELF binaries. And OSDev has great articles about elf files, binutils, cross-compilers, etc..

can't believe I never checked OSDev before... what a trove of info! I'll spend a while digesting there, thanks!
