Amiga Bootblock Reader - Page 4

Hello
Short answer = No, im afraid not
Long answer = See below

I am not yet familiar with how a bootblock actually 'runs' and only know the basic makeup of a bootblock e.g.

'D'O'S' [Disktype flag][Checksum][Code]

I am yet to figure out how to even calculate a boot checksum or decrypt a bootblock. I will continue to work on my program will try to add more and more features (as long as people as downloading it

) and will hopefully become knowledgable enough to add the feature you describe.

Well the cool thing would be to have some sort of SuperBootBlock utility where almost everything is possible.

But actually NDOS Trackloaders etc is not a BootBlock i think. More like a custom filesystem. i dunno.

Anyway i hope all goes well with your project

keep up the good work.

Hi Jason,

Congratulatons on your marriage.

Other things can take a back seat while you get used to all those changes in your life.

It's nice to hear that there's a new ABR version in the making

, but take your time, there's no rush.
