- I have a nifty 128-mode to 64-mode converter. Lets you load a basic
- program in 128 mode, then SYS this baby, and it flips everything
- over to 64 mode and runs the program.

- Email me if you would like a copy. For a boot sector, I simply
- use FCOPY (from CMD) to copy the boot sector off a self-booting
- disk (an old Gazette disk, I think). I checked track 0 to find
- the file name, then named my booting program the same.
