TH>calls, then write it to a file such as "BOOT.COM"
PM>Sorry, that won't work. Then it will assume COM file, assume base
PM>offset 0100h, and most of the variables will be *really* fucked
PM>up...
I don't agree, but I'll try my own advise and get back to you.
PM>Bootrecords work with base offset (origin, .org) 7C00h,
PM>therefore all pointers to variables will differ:
PM>0100 - 7C00 = -7B00
While the boot ROM code placed the load area at 7C00, the boot record
code can work anywhere. That was the whole idea behind
the segmentation architecture of the 80xxx family.
PM>Realy, I think you are a bit confused.
We all can't be as perfect as you, Peter.
PM>You don't seem to differ BIOS chip from bootrecords
PM>(MBR/bootsector)
But, then again your sentence mechanics implies some confusion of
your own.
Chill, dude.
