Programming:An example boot sector (executed with rsx command CPM)

;; An example boot sector.
;;
;; The boot sector is located on track 0, side 0,sector &41, and 
;; is executed with a |CPM command. A maximum of 512 bytes will be loaded to &100
;; in RAM. This sector *must* exist for the disc to be started with the |CPM command.
;; 
;; If the disc is formatted to SYSTEM or VENDOR format, then the directory 
;; will start on track 2, side 0, sector &41. Otherwise, the disc may use
;; a custom format for the remainder of track 0 and subsequent tracks.
;;
;; If a directory doesn't exist, then you must use sector read/write functions to load
;; data.
;;

;; The boot sector is loaded to &100 in memory and executed.
