Title: Rambo's little brother
Post by: hydrophilic on February 01, 2008, 04:38 PM
Rambo is well known for shooting up bad guys with automatic weapons, but his lesser-known brother is hidding inside your Commodore 128.  To see him in action, type

BOOT RONB0

The last character of his name is zero.  He's strange that way.

Errrr.... nothing ?

BOOT ROMB0 returns a syntax error though.

With no disk in drive 8, he makes rattling sound.  If drive 8 is a 1541, it sounds like a machine gun (with a good silencer).

If you have a bootable disk in drive 8, then RONB0 will happily load it for you.  He's so nice :)  In that way, the opposite of Rambo.  They normally don't get along, but I've seen RONB0 actually run Rambo.  I guess blood is thicker than water.

BTW, he is a whiney-baby.  If drive 8 is not plugged in and turned on then he'll cry

:( Device not present :(

RONB0 is not cut out for the military and so has always been envious of his big brother.

You know those pretty mushrooms in your garden ?  You really shouldn't eat them you know :-)
