I know exactly what each pin does on the interface. At least on the 
TC^3, I did design the CPLD version of this. ;)

So I still ask. What pins are you referring to?

Well that is easy don't overwrite it. You have 254 other drives to 
store it on. I have had 4 different boots just DOS x and poof you are there.

If you can't create your own boot then are you able to create a boot 
that already is on your disk. Same applies, save it to another 
HDB-DOS drive and see if it works. These boots and scripts are so easy.
