The MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk is undoubtedly the most practical boot disk. Unfortunately, the IO.SYS is usually too large, occupying more than 200K of space on the floppy disk, which is really not worth it. A few days ago, I saw that Roy successfully split the DOS program part of REGEDIT.EXE, which gave me great inspiration. Therefore, I decided to also split the IO.SYS of MS-DOS 7.10. After some research, I found that the IO.SYS file of MS-DOS 7.10 is actually composed of three parts. One part is the code required for booting (121K), the second part is the embedded compressed boot logo image (65K), and the third part is the file image part (32K), which is basically useless. After testing, I successfully cut out the second and third parts from the IO.SYS file. At this time, it is only 121K in size (100K smaller than the original) and can boot normally, and the original Win98 logo screen is no longer there!
In this way, it has become the real IO.SYS of MS-DOS 7.10. Here it is uploaded:
