  It may be two bytes, but all it does is raise an exception.  That's not
"grabbing a file from the internet and executing it".

  OTOH, what does "NTVDM does not support a ROM BASIC" mean?  Sounds
interesting...


In the olden days, int 18h (CD 18) was used by the disk boot sector to start the ROM 
BASIC if no OS was found on the disk. This usage was discontinued when NT was released.
