No more reflashing of your drive with different firmwares!!! I would like to dedicate this firmware to my father who passed away suddenly. He went into debt to purchase my first computer, a commodore 64, which enabled me to learn assembly language. Please spare a thought or prayer for him around the world, this would make him chuckle. He will be sadly missed. Features ----------------- Extraction part of firmware enabled with Enable0800 DVD. ISO included.
