-{{ :​wozboot_13.nib.gz ​|This disk}} ​image (.nib format) contains a "DOS 3.2 System Master"​ dated 3/​21/​1990. ​ The most interesting thing on here is an Integer Basic program called "​WOZBOOT 13" that claims to have been written by Woz himself.+This {{ :​wozboot_13.zip |disk image}} (Woz and a2r format) contains a "DOS 3.2 System Master"​ dated 3/​21/​1990. ​ The most interesting thing on here is an Integer Basic program called "​WOZBOOT 13" that claims to have been written by Woz himself.  The program takes a 13-sector disk and makes it bootable on 13- (5:3) or 16-sector (6:2) machines by relocating data away from a 5:3 sector in track 0 and replacing the sector with a 6:2 sector 0 with boot code to load the original 5:3 sector 0.
  
-I have not been able to get the disk to boot in any emulator, but I was able to MUFFIN the file to DOS 3.3 in Virtual ​][.+The Woz image boots in Virtual ​II.
  
 The other curiosity is... who would create a pretend/​updated DOS 3.2 master disk in 1990?  Well, based on the writing on the disk and other hints, that'd be 13-year-old me.  I guess I didn't have much going on that year. The other curiosity is... who would create a pretend/​updated DOS 3.2 master disk in 1990?  Well, based on the writing on the disk and other hints, that'd be 13-year-old me.  I guess I didn't have much going on that year.
