The more powerful commencement of the proceedings star - PLOP Boot Manager

PLOP Boot Manager (hereinafter referred to PBMgr) and other
multi-activate the tool, is also to help manage multiple system
start-up. But there are unique places:
* Support for USB disk launch
There are two tiers of meaning, one of which is activated from the USB
medium can also turn to a USB Media Launch (regardless of whether or
not to support USB start BIOS). Log from the development perspective,
the EHCI / OHCI / UHCI three interface is supported, but the external
USB HUB does not support.
This feature is indeed exciting, although before Filo inside look at a
USB stack, is the protection mode, and this is the real model.

* Support CD-ROM launched
This is also a two-tier meaning: both start from the CD-ROM, also from
other media into the drive started after the launch. Although we have
met: for example grub4all inside the scdrom to achieve such a
function, but compatibility bad; There is also a sector of the
start-up launch code conversion (for example, in Avldr.bin start the
process of press the Alt key, then The menu that appears to use
'c'drom), there is compatibility issues.

* Ultra-small size and the support of a graphical interface
PBMgr current version, only 40-50 kb of the head, but to achieve USB
stack, and cdrom mini drive is indeed a miracle, but it also includes
graphics support and activate effects. Indeed remarkable.
