Normally it would be programmed into an EPROM and run by the BIOS as a BIOS 
extension at boot time.

Since it's somewhat self-relocating, I have in the past put a trivial wrapper 
around it to load it from a floppy.  I'm not sure where that code is, but it 
would be easy to reproduce.  Likewise, you could put a trivial wrapper around 
it and run it as an .EXE file quite easily.
