    Except we fixed the cylinder issue by making the boot code use linear
    addressing BIOS calls when available (which should be always on any
    BIOS in the last 5 years).

Not to worry.  Pretty sure it is a headspace or hardware issue of the sort
you can't code around (unless you are into robotics).
Sam's mailbox is overquota at the moment, but I won't need robotics,
he may be as close as 15-40 minutes from my flat.
Note the surname and ISP.

I read messages here every day. The mail box I used here is not used for 
ages, because it has full of spam emails and virus. Apparently I use 
another email account for official use. :)

Sam.


Best,

Bill
