> I don't know if there are different versions of REL, but there are different versions of the boot track itself (trk 34). There are different versions to boot from different devices. Boot_1773 (floppy), boot_dw (drivewire), boot_dw_becker (drivewire on becker port), boot_ide (ide hd), boot_rom (os9 in rom), boot_burke (burke & burke hw), boot_scsi (scsi hd) etc.
