Linards,

    I believe that BASICS disc which it is called "DOS 3.3 BASICS".  Is it 
what you want?  It will load 13-sector ROM into memory from 0 sector track 0 
disc.  Then, you can enter RETURN key to boot DOS 3.2.1+ Master System disc. 
It is not BOOT13 from DOS 3.3 Master System disc.  I have one copy.  If you 
want, I will be glad to e-mail you a copy image.  I will have to use 
DSK2File to convert from real disc to DSK image.
