Boss Wengier, don't put any logos. I, a shrimp, like streamlined things most. Strongly the moderator to work hard and succeed on a floppy disk.

Finally found out that the logo was compressed into IO.SYS using DBLSPACE. Here's the post I just made:

Of course, it needs to be streamlined. I'll figure it out in the next few days.

LanE: Actually, it can be done just by using EDIT to cut.
The following is attached with my latest research results:
I found that the reason why the 124K IO.SYS cannot boot from a floppy disk seems to be that when it boots from a floppy disk, it detects its own size. After multiple tests, I have determined that this size is 192,001 bytes (that is, 190,976 bytes of the file header + 1,024 bytes of the image + 1 byte). That is to say, if it is smaller than this size, IO.SYS cannot boot from a floppy disk, but can boot from a hard disk. In fact, it only checks whether it has reached this size, but does not check what the content is. Therefore, even if all the following are 00 00H, it can. At this time, it can boot from both the floppy disk and the hard disk. However, this is obviously a waste of space. There are two good solutions:
Method 1: Cancel this size check when IO.SYS boots from a floppy disk (Roy, give it a try);
Method 2: Embed the custom LOGO compressed by DoubleSpace into the 124-191K space of IO.SYS to effectively use this part of the space to display the custom boot LOGO screen.
Everyone is welcome to put forward methods and suggestions. Thank you!
The download address of this IO.SYS (192,001 bytes) is:

Go and give it a try.

Use a hex editor, it's better.
<- 刷新一下换个MM叫我Jorkin或小p就行，别再叫playboy2925了，跟提犯人似的。
如果认为小弟发的logo不错的话，给朵鲜花我就知道了。：）

I can't find where IO.SYS checks the size.
Wengier, why don't you also give it a try.

I really can't find where to check.
Updated on 2003-4-20: Finally found it and successfully "slimmed down" to 123K! For details, please see:

So powerful, did you know it by looking at the assembly code? It's very exhausting
