Happy to announce my 9000/720 booted & ran the dummy kernel successfully
from my 2nd disk.

Keep it coming, I have a whole 2nd disk to test this on as it is
developed.  Wish I had some OS Coding knowledge & experience to add to
the project.  I will settle for being a tester :)

Screen looks good, mine is running on a graphics display, not an ASCII
