[PATCH] ifplop.c32: Detect if PLoP USB/CD INT13h hook is enabled/disabled
New module which check if the PLoP Boot Loader already has booted a
CDROM or USB drive by checking for the presence of the PLoP INT13h hook.
The following assembly code (NASM) can detect the PLoP INT13h hook:
mov eax,'PoLP' ; Reverse of 'PLoP'
mov ebp,'DKHC' ; Reverse of 'CHKD'
int 13h
cmp eax,' sey' ; Reverse of 'yes '

[PATCH]: ifplop.c32: COM32 module for detection of PLoP USB boot-loader
I wrote a COM32 module which detects if the PLoP bootmanager was used to
boot a CDROM drive or USB drive, by checking for the presence of the PLoP
INT13h hook.
The PLoP INT13h hook check works like this (NASM syntax):
mov eax,'PoLP' ; Reverse of 'PLoP'
mov ebp,'DKHC' ; Reverse of 'CHKD'
int 13h
cmp eax,' sey' ; Reverse of 'yes '

SYSLINUX 3.85 released
Syslinux 3.85 is a bug fix and minor new feature release. The biggest
change is undoubtedly that gPXELINUX is now considered feature

Special thanks to Intel Corporation, my current employer, for their
support for my Syslinux work.
Changes in 3.85:
* gPXELINUX: updated to gPXE 1.0.0. gPXELINUX can now do NBP

SYSLINUX 1.67 released
This release is identical to 1.67-pre1. Unfortunately the people who
reported problems with 1.66 never got back to me to indicate if it
solved their problem or not, but since it fixes a real bug, regardless,
I decided to release it as 1.67.

SYSLINUX 1.72 released
Since I've gotten convinced the really serious PXELINUX/ISOLINUX bug in

Hello everyone,
I have pushed out SYSLINUX 3.08. It's identical in all but version
number to 3.08-pre11. Sorry for everything that probably should have
