the amazing tool by TomCat/Abaddon
------------------------------------------------------
v1.1
- you should select the HDD by the 2nd parameter
80h -> 1st HDD (the booted), 81h -> 2nd HDD, ...
- new MBR emulates 09H DOS function: Display String
- it was tested with the MBR of FreeDOS and WindowsXP
- of course it won't work on GDT drives without MBR
- it will backup the original MBR as BACKUP.MBR file
------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO USE
- make a bootable USB by RUFUS - https://rufus.akeo.ie
- after DOS boot run BOOT256B yourintro.COM 80h
- other drive than booted USB, patch on your own risk!
KNOWN ISSUES
- DOS interrupts won't work at boot time (except 09H)
- if your intro dosn't quit, don't put into any MBR!
- sample INTRO now works under all DOSBox version
but the scroller is laggy, not smooth (why?)
