good job - another place to newlisp!

Just out of interest, I thought I'd try to burn and run the Syllable LiveCD (the one that doesn't require you to partition your hard disk and install software). Unfortunately, it didn't get beyond the first error message ("int13h not supported"). That's on an Intel Mac running OS X Leopard.

Yes INT13 is the shared interrupt from Dos for the Harddisks/floppy's..
What Syllaby does is scanning the BIOS during startup, could very
well be your system is too new or has hardware wich is unknown
to Syllaby at the moment..I not realy into the support of syllaby so
I cant help you in this case..

Perhaps my new shiny iMac is too young to know anything about DOS... No problems, it was just idle curiosity.
