DOS ain't dead

Book8088's CF2IDE stumps Freedos boot (Users)

I created another CF image 512 MB:

https://www.bootablecd.de/CompactFlash-61-254-63-02-001.zip

The difference is that it uses CHS 66/255/63 (end chs: 61/254/63)

This was mentioned in a forum referring to 8088 BIOS for 512 MB,
https://github.com/skiselev/8088_bios/issues/59

Please test if this version works for you, if not, I give up, but there are so many hints in the forum mentioned that I am sure you will find a better one.

The pictures on the bttr forum already show a lot of different BIOSes, so with two versions of 8088 Book and different processors inside (as described in the article about the 8088 in this forum) it is very hard to say something.

One information even says that not every CF works with it, but the original one should do it?
Long story short: Why did the creator of the book give no informations on how to use other DOS versions? It would have been much easier and more legal for him to use a free DOS instead of a stolen one.
