Here it is list of some changes: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in version 1.2 - UNILOAD uses IBM/MS INT 0x13 extensions and can load partitions beyond 1024 cylinder mark - install program checks if IBM/MS INT 0x13 extensions are supported, item 'Drive geometry' in install program can show right geometry - unknown type of partition is printed as hexadecimal number - length of highlighted bar in menu is equal to length of longest line -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here it is some lines from README file: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You shouldn't make any configuration to force the ability of UNILOAD to use LBA packet interface. At first time UNILOAD tries to use LBA packet interface to read sector. If that attempt failed then UNILOAD use standard INT 0x13 call. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can download it on following URL in 'Software' menu item: http://comsys.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua/~simon On this URL online documentation for UNILOAD is also available, *please read it before install UNILOAD on your system*.
