Great to see all the machines that it does run on for you.

As to forever-boot... By now you know it boots the entire 1440 block
image, or the entire floppy that is to say. In my machine I can count
the heads changing sectors, once for the boot section ( takes a sec )
then 79 times for the rest of the image. Floppy is slow and I can't
wait to get it going on the USBstick. When we only booted 4 sectors or
so ( 18 in my Appelman/Nietz smallfonts ) it was very quick and we
didn't have any kind of wait time like what a c compiler takes to
build a medium size ap. :-)

But I 'm concerned about the image not saving for you. I've had that
problem on some machines and I've never been able to figure that out.

The new Manuel says something about needing to use a word called
'HOMEF" before every floppy hit, read or write, but this word has
never worked on my system and appears to not even be included in the
system, as far as I can tell.
