Hello,

I tried with 2 more floppies, same result. I can start it up on other computers without problem with the same floppies. In this particular computer, there doesn't seem to be an error (or at least I don't get any message), it just stops at that line and the cursor is blinking at the next line.

As for the DOS version, I'll try it out, but I'd like the floppy version better .
