Nick  here:  USB and USBoot stuff in CF2a

block 62 boot assembler 
      64 USB assembler
      66 boot sector 
      68 USBoot 
      72 flash files 
      82 USB macro (like block 20 in CF05) 
      84 USB flash (like CF05 22) 
      86 USB command

This seems to continue Chuck's progress from CF01 to
CF05, moving boot code from assembler 

to Forth blocks; and from CF05 TO CF2A, moving from
floppy boot to flash boot. The fact that 

the new bootloader CF2.EXE can boot all 3 versions into
Windows (CF01, CF05 and CF2a) 

indicates a structural similarity: it would be nice to
have a dissassembly of the native 

CF2a kernel from OkadWork.cf, to compare with the
dissassemblies that Karig, Tim and Terry 

made for CF01, and Josh's dissassembly of CF05.  The
dissassembly of CF2a will be short: a 

dump of blocks 0 to 17 reveals great swathes of zeros,
presumably where cpu code has been 

shifted to Forth source code.

Nick
