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.

Blacklord

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 :-)
