I still agree.

But while answering Ady's questions i get to a question of my own:

Do all six fixed isohdp*.bin variations still fit into 432 bytes ?

mbr/Makefile builds among other MBRs:
  isohdpfx.bin isohdppx.bin isohdpfx_c.bin isohdppx_c.bin
  isohdpfx_f.bin isohdppx_f.bin

Their purpose is explained in the table at

Have a nice day :)
