   I answer myself: no, not all, at least.   
      
   I analyzed the source of the first bootblock of which I attached the images in   
   the previous message and everything happens in the 1024 bytes of that source,   
   no external program is launched.   
      
   Now I will have to understand the various pieces of that source, which   
   animates writings and draws those "sinusoidal" lines on the video. And it   
   sounds, too. It's not easy for me.   
      
   Thanks anyway.   
      
   Ciao.
