Hi Jonathan!

Thus quoth Jonathan de Boyne Pollard to MIKE RUSKAI:

 JdBP> As far as I have been able to find out, there are only three
 JdBP> operating systems whose boot code uses the new INT 13h
 JdBP> extensions.  Two of those are Microsoft DOS-Windows 98 (and 95
 JdBP> OSR2) and IBM OS/2 Warp Server 5.  (IBM OS/2 Warp Server 5
 JdBP> contains a new Boot Manager that uses the INT 13h Extensions and
 JdBP> that can thus boot from any partition anywhere on any disk, for
 JdBP> example.)

Thanks! I never heard about that before. This asks for a test...

bye, Dani
