RE: [ECOS] download Application to load redboot on an Intel x86 PC

[Mukund JB.]

Dear Gray,

Thanks for the quick response.
I have a quick requirement of booting my X86 with Redboot monitor.
Could you suggest some way to write to the floppy and execute it
quickly?

I mean is there a code which I can use to prepare the redboot boot
floppy by writing it to the floppy?

Waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Regards,
Mukund Jampala
