ok, but this is the standard way to launch any program on the floppy disk.

Instead, I wanted to modify the bootblock by inserting a routine inside that
shows a text like "(c) by Felice Murolo - Press the left mouse button" and
waits for the left button to be pressed.

Maybe then enriching this thing with a gradient background color (I've already
managed to do this, playing with the copper registers).

Any ideas?

Regards.


Ciao.
