You could use assembly but you would have to know alot before you could start. You will have to look at how the dos memory manager works and how dos interfaces with the hardware and the software. You should look at the DPMI interface as that is what does uses.

A guy has actually created a DOS clone. You could look at his source code, its in assembly. Do a search on google or msn and type in DS-OS.


Hope this helps, you could also look at Freedos but you wouldn't get anyhelp from them if you were using assembly since they are writing it in a high-level language unlike assembly which is a low-level language.

This tiny tutorial may help:

Micro Operating System v1.0
This is a very basic example of a tiny operating system. This OS can be loaded on floppy disk. Tutorial, full 8086 instruction set, information about some basic interrupts are also included.
