The Trap BIOS 7 is : get floppy disk boot sector. This means that a

Trap 7 is Getbpb, this is not only for floppies. It should also
be possible to put the files on a harddisk image.

Laurent, which drive was used by Getbpb() call?


But you cannot put the game  on a GEMDOS emulated drive,
because that is GEMDOS only and there is no BIOS drive
corresponding to it.

BIOS Getbpb() could be intercepted when GEMDOS HD emulation
is enabled, for GEMDOS HD drives.  The returned pointer could
point e.g. to a BPB structure in cartridge memory area.

Thomas, any comments?
