Floppy Image
 img_0.0.1b.zip       7/30/2001 

        The Amateur.com code matches the kernel package.
    The package contains all the updated include files.
        Install is very simple. Download boot.bin, loader.bin
    and Amateur.com or the zip package. Use debug to write
    boot.bin to the boot sector of the disk.
        debug boot.bin
        -w 100 0 0 1
        -q

        Next copy loader.bin and Amateur.com to the floppy.
    Reboot. Do not try to run Amateur.com other than form
    the boot up. It is not a true com file and will crupte
    you memory. It is really a bin file but Sphinx C-- will
    only with a .com or .obj extension.

        Amateur OS has been tested on the following :

        Cyrix 486v90 IBM Thinkpad 20megs VGA
        Cyrix 486v100 Desktop 8megs VGA
        AMD K6-400 Desktop 64megs Dual SVGA
        P1 100 Deaktop 16 megs VGA
        P-pro 233 Desktop 24 megs VGA
        Bochs-1.2.1 emulator 8megs VGA

        The image file is a snap-shot of the working kernel.
    There may be junk programs on there that don't work correct
    but most will do something. I run this image under Bochs and
    also write it to a floppy for testing on other machines.
