Hey Robert, I just tried your boot under 512k in VCC and it booted just fine. Is this something sporadic or maybe setup? I use your boot raw no mods on my part (same HD size and setup, except I use /H0 as /DD)

The image in Bob Devries folder does not boot as he has that setup for SCSI HD’s.  The documentation to setup a boot file is in Alan Dekok’s folder.  It is very tricky to setup.  The source in the main root is not fully compilable but getting there.
