What is the ROM-DOS .sys file? Does it contain registration information? The system file transferred by sys does not include it. But it prompts that ROM-DOS is a trial version and you need to press the Esc key to continue. Is there any other way to solve it? Why is the registration file so large.

Actually, ROM-DOS.SYS is neither a registration file nor a system file; it is only used when the SYS command is used to transfer the system. If you don't use the SYS command, you can safely delete it. If there is a registration message after transferring to the hard disk, replace the one on the hard disk with IBMBIO.COM from the floppy disk.

This disk is usable, but there is a relatively serious problem for some people: the hard disk partition can only be used up to H, and then it is not recognized later. Setting lastdrive=z in CONFIG.SYS also doesn't work. The numbers from i to z are okay when set as CD-ROM drives and virtual disks, but the hard disk is not recognized. I don't know the reason?

The following is a quote from Barefoot Cockroach at 2:36:00 on April 20, 2003:
Please tell me, dear experts, how to view the original code of the original file?
Viewing it with Notepad is garbled!

Puzzled: After formatting the hard drive with ROM-DOS and transferring the system, when booting from the hard drive, a demo version appears, requiring registration to use officially.
