Also I think it is better to support       CHS which uses up some space.              I have a FAT-12/16 boot sector you can take code from       if you want it. It's public domain so there is no restriction       on what you use it for, no matter what license you choose.              However, there appears to be a bug in it when used on a       disk with the root sector starting on a non-multiple of       track length.              It's available here:              https://sourceforge.net/p/pdos/gitcode/ci/master/tree/src/pbootsec.asm              BFN.
