catch warez! - new Boot!

ZXNet echo conference «zx.spectrum»

From Dmitry Fedotov To All 17 April 1997

Hello, All!

I'm throwing in a new Boot.

The main advantages and differences from other boots:
- developed by the Tomsk group Home Masters
- supports Kempston Mouse!
- nothing superfluous
- runs not only 48 Magicians
- works
- displays the disk label up to 11 characters long
- support for files with type
I explain:
A file with this type is a regular file, but it is launched
from the download address.
- occupies only 8 sectors
- something else

PS. Test for health. If you notice any glitches, write to me, I will pass it on to the authors. Your feedback will be interesting...

ZZY. The Boot itself is in the next message...
If you don’t see it, _write to me_ !!!

Sincerely, Dmitry

Imho, now we need either bootloads that are too cool in terms of music and design, or bootloads that are too sophisticated in terms of quantity and quality of functions.

PS: and code blocks can launch many other bootloaders, and the file does not have to have the extension .E.

PPS: And the size of 8 sectors is not so important - let it be 50 sectors more,
but 50 times more sophisticated.

PPPS: I can recommend reading the article in Oberon 3 on this topic, although only a tenth of the question is covered there.

PPPPS: And ZYX boot MD! =)


Hasta la vista, Roland.
With God's blessing, Novikov Sergei
