BOOT256B - Boot with your favorite 256b intro!
the amazing tool by TomCat/Abaddon
------------------------------------------------------
v1.1
- you should select the HDD by the 2nd parameter
80h -> 1st HDD (the booted), 81h -> 2nd HDD, ...
- now emulates 09H DOS function: Display String
- it was tested with the MBR of FreeDOS and WindwowsXP
- of course it won't work on GDT drives without MBR
- it will backup the original MBR as BACKUP.MBR file
------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO USE

- after DOS boot run BOOT256B yourintro.COM 80h
- other drive than booted USB, patch on your own risk!

Now the sample intro fixed and it works under DOSBox.
