Ok, I'm a bit stuck here with this one - it's a bit nasty. I've let the bootsector decrypt itself and let it load the first 6 tracks to $17d22.  Easy peasy bit That data is then relocated (also is partially decrypted) down to $200.  I've got that block saved as a 38k file for future use. All system is trashed here (Toxic Monst does help though) Code runs at $200, all traps, vbl, trace / kbd vector / timers are then screwed around with and custom ones setup as more sectors are loaded. If you manage to get past that and still have a working system then please let me know. I would ideally like to find where the sector loader is kept. I did manage to load more tracks but then the system got trashed again from somewhere else.

Tell you what - download the DEBUG version of steem engine, open up the boiler room, set a breakpoint to $200, and start tracing from that. Don't use a software debugger, as steem's one is quite powerful for what you need. Except if you really want to do it with toxic...

Well, I guess Andy only kept the code that mattered for his version :)
