The latest changes made to the boot R01 have been done to correct errors
dealino with the hard disk interrace.

1) The boot fU1 rDI always initializes the hard disk interface reset and
parity reset lines as inactive outputs prior to atternptin~ any interaction
with a hard disk. Previously these lines were left initialized as inputs
which r8sult8d in a "floating" level on each line.
2) The herd disk interface reset routine now works properly for both Sea~ate
and Widoet type disk drives. Previously, reset of a Widget drive could
result in a tigeout error because of its longer delay in responding to a
reset s1 gnal .

Ninor changes have also been made to this document to correct erroneous
statements and supply new information. These chenges are noted by a vertical
bar in the left hand margin of the changed page.
