i know exactly what i am talking about... i also know that there are two
names (generally) found in relation to those files... IBM's are generally
named IBMDOS.COM and IBMBIO.COM whereas others are simply IO.SYS and
MSDOS.SYS... i also know that the bootsector loader looks specifically for
one set, either the IBM stuff or the other but not both... if you have a
disk that has been sys'd with the IBM stuff and you remove the IBM*.COM
files and put IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS in their place, it won't boot...
