   Dave, how are CBASIC and CBIOS related? I _ASS U MEd_ that CBASIC is not   
   part of the Compatibility BIOS [CBIOS], and deleting the 32KB is like   
   removing tonsils [but without ice cream].   
      
   This is all related to replacing a floppy during boot at a very   
   primitive level... Can you hear the drums?
