I never noticed that, but I just tried it and you're right, the dvi
needs the system disk on every power-on, not just for installation.

I guess the need to pack the Disk BASIC away is pretty limited, since
when the DVI starts up, it loads software into it's RAM from the system
disk, the same disk which you can use to load Disk BASIC to the M100. So
even if you were to pack and reload Disk BASIC, the DVI will be useless
without the system disk. (unless there is a way to load the DVI software
into the DVI from the System Bus connector of the M100.)
That would be great if possible, you could bootstrap a DVI without the
original disk.

Looks like also D100.BA <http://D100.BA> and DISABL.DVI
I would have sworn I saw directions in the user manual, but I don't see
anything like that now.
There may be yet other programs or texts elsewhere in the m100sig
besides these too.
I thought I saw some that don't just unload the dvi software but pack
it away for restoring later, and did the same for other dosses like for
chipmunk or tpdd, and let you flip back & forth between them.
Here's something cool, search the entire m100sig using the search
box on
github:
https://github.com/LivingM100SIG/Living_M100SIG/search?q=Disk%2FVideo
<https://github.com/LivingM100SIG/Living_M100SIG/search?q=Disk%2FVideo>
Whoa Nelly!
