This seems to be the most lively os board.
I'm looking for nasm source to run a program of a fat disk.
I've found bootsector code, but I'm finding it impossible to run it out of a boot sector environment.
anyhelp?

I once wrote a little assembly program that would
load the first sector of a floppy to 0x7c000 and
jump to that code. It'd work from DOS.

It wouldn't require much effort to use DOS calls
to load a file, rather than the first sector of a
disk.

ps - unfortunately, no, I don't have the source
anybody, but any OS developer could write it up
in about 5 seconds
