 ===== It can be booted as well =====
-However, the COMPAQ machine that I used for the first example doesn't work with this particular image's lDOS boot sector loader, because its function 13.08 reports 000Fh (15) for the CHS geometry sectors (stored in ''word [ss:7C18h]''), even though the diskette actually needs 0012h (18) to properly load from it. The only fix for this on our part would be to build lDOS boot.asm without querying for geometry. The ROM-BIOS should provide a way to configure this, though if this machine does allow this I do not know how to do it.

 To boot it on a machine expecting 1440 KiB 90mm diskettes, do this:
