This is definitely a 6502-flavored       8086 ASM, for the most part.              The next thing I need to do is figure out the "device issue" in a way that       makes it look like an Apple ][ (e.g., A: as device 6).              By making some tweaks to the floppy bootloader I went from being able to       load about 32K (which is probably more than enough, given the size of       ProDOS-8 2.0.3) to theoretically being able to load 128K, which would       almost be big enough to run the later versions of MS-DOS. Better safe       than sorry...              -uso.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
