I patched 1007 heavily and was only seeing RM 13 15, and PM 10 13 15 16 1c, and the 06 fault. I wasn't seeing 0D. Rod Pemberton

It just hangs in the int 13 BIOS call - motor left running. The interrupts that are being called: PM 10,13,15,16,1C,50,56 RM 15,1C,50,56 When I try it with the boot from DOS program, it gets to the A:\ but as soon as I type a key, RM/PM 51 triggers and then a RM/PM 06. So, I'm thinking maybe two problems. What'd you change from 1013 to 1014? Sorry, deleted all the old versions... Rod Pemberton

If I relocate second.asm to any address between 2000h and 3000h, I get a reboot. If I relocate second.asm to 3000h, I get RM05. If I relocate second.asm to 3500h, I get PM06 in the middle of int 13h. (Good? Bad?) The EBDA segment at 40:E says 020F. I haven't found anything conclusive, but my suspicions are that the BIOS is using the EBDA or perhaps writing data somewhere near there.
