The difference of them (BIOS setup?) seems handled by the primary sdboot and wdboot, but they don't use stand alone libraries so there is no binary change on them. The newer boot.atari is smaller because the previous MD libsa uses m68k optimized (and a bit larger) asm string functions (memcpy, strlen etc.) in src/common/lib/libc/arch/m68k/string and MI libsa uses simple and size-optimized C versions in src/common/lib/libc/string, I guess. --- Izumi Tsutsui
