You can transfer those to a 3.5" or 5.25" disk using ADT Pro or if you have a SD based storage system, it should run fine from there.

# Build
You can build it yourself using the *make_bootable* Bash script under Linux or OSX. It should be trivial to write an approximate BAT or Powershell for Windows, if that is what you are using. Note - You need to edit the following lines in the *make_bootable* script:

@ -52,11 +46,6 @@ Large portions of this program are written in one of the two cpu modes:
The 8-bit test modes, in particular, are written with a short accumulator, but long index registers. This way it can easily scan a bank of memory using the X register from 0000 to FFFF. Likewise, when running 16-bit test modes, we write 16 bit values using a long accumulator, and still using long index registers. However, we also increment or decrement by two, since it writes two bytes at a time with a long accumulator.
`TestInit` function is where the "BEGIN TEST" code starts.
Again, see the manual at the top for the full description of the software and usage.
