Can you tell when he unsubscribed (i.e. which of the messages he got
as last one) ?

Open question is whether the fix helps with David's BIOS.
The newest answer from Martin indicates that a failure to read should
have caused a different error message than reported by David.
But successfully reading a wrong block address should not have yielded
all zeros.
@Martin:
Can you provide a binary MBR with the bug fix and diagnostic prints ?
If we cannot get testing from David then i would be interested to keep
such an MBR for the next occasion.
Have a nice day :)
