Here it is (w/ srcs and one-byte diff):

I think XFDISK, even at the best of times, only works on 286s on up.
But I used "--ultra-brute --lzma --8086" anyways (in case there is
some cpu check somewhere so at least it will fail gracefully ... in
theory!). It shouldn't be slow at all, it's a quite small binary. But
seriously, feel free to repack it.
