Comments : When you get the bootscreen up (Test above), and if you then:
Press left mouse button:
It loads fine under KS 1.3, 2.0 & 3.0
Press right mouse button:
It destroys the disk, and you can hear the disk-stepper clicking
like mad and nothing happens at all. And after clean reboot, and
you insert the disk that would not load, you get the message:
DOS error code 225 - Not a valid DOS disk
