Thanks Al,
This is the one routine I completely forgot about. But I do recall using it many times back in 1990-2000. Looking back, even with the wrongly burned CD (try #2) with the
DRDOS boot loader, I noticed that DEBUG was part of the load...........
Completely forgot about this in the heat of battle. LOL!
Best,
Duncan
