- B BOOT

-
- You may remember that issue three's desktop section featured a tip to
- allow your ST to boot from drive B. This unfortunately involved
- subjecting your ST to surgery with a blunt soldering iron which was
- understandably too much for most people's stomachs. If you're one of
- those people who just couldn't face the agony of a hardware
- modification then help is at hand in the form of B BOOT.
-
- B BOOT is a software solution to this problem. There's no
- soldering involved, you don't even have to open your ST so your
- machine's warrenty will not be affected. Just run the program once and
- your ST will boot from drive B time after time until you decide enough
- is enough and switch the machine off. There must be a catch you're
- thinking, not so, just run once and that's it. All this in just 131
- bytes!
-
- B BOOT is designed to sit in the auto folder of a disk. When
- you boot with this disk in drive A, as soon as B BOOT has been
- executed the boot process will be transfered to drive B. The nice
- thing about B BOOT is that it will survice all system crashes and even if
- you reset the machine yourself, B BOOT will continue doing its stuff.
-
- For details on how to copy B BOOT, refer to the 'How
- to use this disk' section on page 80 of this month's Format.
