[Food for line eater]

I have a program that allows you to boot off the hard disk on early (64K)
PCs; in fact I wrote it. It makes you a special boot floppy (still usable
for files) which sets up the hard disk then boots from it. Transparent if
you accept the fact that a floppy has to be inserted before boot.

Now...I could post it to the net if there is interest. However there may be
a nearer reply. Alternatively I could put it on a floppy if you send me one.

Thoughts?
