Machine: IBM PC XT @ 4.77mhz
Video Speed: 8-bit

King's Quest (the cracked Retrograde version of the booter) now fails to boot as it crashes PCem as a whole.

The culprit seems to be in pclog.txt:

Bad FDC command 42

PIC2 : MASK FF PEND 00 INS 00 VECTOR 00

Might be the cracked disk that's not playing nice. I've tested 2 versions that boots fine. Don't have the cracked one to test.

J-bird the cracked one (crack by Demonlord) doesn't boot, yet the uncracked one boots fine.

Edit: found that king quest do crash PCem. (Crc: a331a88b)

Well, command 0x42 is command 0x02 (READ TRACK) with the MFM bit set. Evidently, PCem doesn't support that command.
