The new bootblok.s, send by Andy Tannenbaum still has the same error. The diskette-drive is not properly reset, when you use a 360K floppy in an 1.2MB drive to boot minix on an AT. Here is a patch, which worked on my AT-clone and on my XT-clone. With this patch it is possible to use 1.2MB or 360K floppys as boot-disks for AT-PC`s. *** BOOTBLOK.OLD Sun Oct 09 10:30:00 1988 --- BOOTBLOK.s Tue Oct 11 15:35:32 1988 *************** *** 136,141 **** --- 136,143 ---- mov DSKBASE,ax seg es mov DSKBASE+2,dx + xor dx,dx | drive 0 + xor ax,ax | diskette reset int 0x13 | diskette reset L1: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans-Juergen Knobloch, TH Darmstadt (West-Germany)
