Well, here is another bootblock intro with almost same behaving (see on pic.):

Boot Intro (Intro) by Vortex 42 -> http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/release.php?id=23867

What now dont understand is - what does it mean "bootblock enviroment"?!

How I understand - if all sprite DMA channels are OFF before loading anything into memory and then the bootblock program is loaded into memory and running, the only possibility is that the running code enabled the sprite DMA channels after or maybe "something" else is - but what, still stay unknown?!

Otherwise, are the sprite DMA channels really set OFF, mean already on WB hand shown, before anything is loaded into memory?!
