Logo, meaning or life? :-)

That would be a nice addition to my collection.

If I remember correctly, the boot sector among the first sectors, together with the partition table. You can use the undocumented command
"fdisk /mbr" to write the standard boot sector (master boot record). But don't ask me for M$-related things: I switched to Linux in 1993 and hated DOS all the years I had to use it (2 or 3 years, that is).
Do you have Sopwith (a really great CGA game)? You should try it on the Olivetti, or maybe even on the PC I. To make this message a bit more on-topic: Is there anything similar for the plus/4 or other Commodores?
Sopwith is a 2D flying game where you have to defend yourself from enemy planes and destroy all buildings on the ground. It's really nice, because you can also use bombs against aircraft and the machine gun against houses. And you may not shoot cows. Okay, there is Blue Max, but it's trying to be 3D, and there is no fixed playfield in that game.
