How to get rid of the 3 second ICD boot delay with
ICD booter version 6.5.5.
You will need a File Hexedecimal Editor, like the old
Disk Doctor, Dust etc, NOT a Text Editor....
Make a copy of the ICDBOOT.SYS file, and have a look at bytes at
offset B4-B5 from the start of the file, these are 02 58,
this is = to 3 second, they use the 200hz system counter, change this
to say 00 01 will give you no delay, don't put a 00 00 as this could cause
problems and give very long delays, as the counter could have just ticked
over, and there is no checking for this...
For 1/2 second delay use 00 64..
NOTE: a count of one = .005 seconds, (5ms)....
This feature is not in the 6.2.0 version of the booter, but there
is a patch program to fix that called ICD_PSU....
