Is there any way to boot from a floppy image?
@zhblueАй бұрын
Theoretically, it is possible to connect a floppy drive controller from an external ISA interface, thus connecting an external floppy drive. I'm not sure if the BIOS will correctly identify it, but as far as I know, the machine's developer is working on an external dock that includes a 16-bit ISA slot, serial and parallel ports, and a standard notebook floppy drive interface.

Hello, good work. I like to make tiny executable com files for DOS with a little help from the external debug command, but i use a special version of debug that provide 16 bit and additional 32 bit instructions for 80386+ CPU. The version from MS DOS provide 16 bit instructions only. To create a new executable com file i use batch files as an open source container to put all instructions of a routine inside the batch file. Most of these special container batch files have to start with one or more parameter attached separated with a space between. Example with row color "text" attached: CENTER.BAT 8 1b "output center align" I made some videos(no speech) to show how it works and to share the batch file. Have fun.❤
