; PC-DOS Bootstrap Loader
;
; This code is found in sector 0 of every PC-DOS diskette. It loads
; the file IBMBIO.COM into memory and transfers control to it (on a
; bootable diskette) or displays relevant error messages (on a non-
; bootable diskette)
;
; Although this code (in object form) appears in sector 0 of every
; diskette formatted by DOS, copyrights are no doubt in effect, by
; Microsoft, or IBM, or Both.
; It has been hand dis-assembled from object code, and appropriately
; commented. Beware the computer police!
;
;
; Notes - This code taken from a high-density (1.2Meg) diskette
; - Boot code is loaded into memory, at absolute addr 0000:7C00
; - Several locations within the code are used for data after
; they are no longer useful. These locations have been combined
; into a structure, the elements of which are names xNN, where
; NN is a two digit number corresponding to sequence. They are
; accessed via equates, of the form aXXXXXX, where XXXXXX is
; a symbolic name ("a" stands for "alias")
