FYI that R. Swan emailed me about a bug in the A72 assembler. I've mirrored
the new release on Ibiblio as version 1.03a. See email, below.
We agreed the updated version should have the "a" label in case someone
reports a problem. Then there's a way to see if that person is running the
outdated
Sorry for disturbing once again.
The vhd formatted by Windows 10 (FAT) Nr. 2 does not give out an error message when booting without fdconfig / fdautoexec.bat.

Now it becomes absolutely confusing:
format d: /u says:
Full formatting (wiping all data)
Zapping / checking 443889 sectors and after a standard message

I repeated with format d: /u /d:
FAT1x size: 217, using FAT16
Disk size 217MBytes, FAT16

You can skip that check by explicitly requesting a

one more problem with fdisk 1.3.4:
I just tried to create a ca. 230 MB big partition on a second HD in virtualbox. I ran fdisk 1.3.4 from the first virtual HD (C:) and executed it for the second HD via
fdisk position 5, change HD, created one primary partition, everything seems to work fine.
Hi all,
I’ve just noticed a minor issue/wierdness with FDISK.
