Actually, I would like to see how people use the bootblock.  I have
benn thinking off and on about coming up with my own OS, but always
forget about it when I think of how to create a boot block, generating
code that will work there (I assume Lattice/Manx won't work - assembler
perhaps..), and how to put enough code in the bootblock to actually
read stuff from the disk to load in the rest of the OS.

So actually, there are more uses to the bootblock than Viruses and
neat demos.
