- About Reset1200
-
- Reset1200 is a small (2k) commodity I wrote because I have a harddisk in
- my 1200 which is a bit weird... Whenever the CPU does a RESET instruction
- the Amiga loses all contact with the harddisk! So when I have to reboot my
- machine I have to turn it off and on (and I don't like that...). So I
- thought: "The solution must be to reboot without using the RESET
- instruction". So I did it! A tricky jump into the ROM does the magic (I
- know this is highly illegal but I calculate this address EXACTLY the same
- way the system does it)

-
- Installing Reset1200
-
- The easiest way to install Reset1200 is to just drag the icon to your
- WBStartup drawer. If you for some reason don't want it there it can be run
- from CLI as well. The CLI template goes like this:
-
- CX_POPKEY/K,CX_PRIORITY/N/K
-
- You can only specify two tooltypes. CX_POPKEY and CX_PRIORITY. Of
- course if you put it in your WBStartup drawer you have to specify DONOTWAIT
- as well.
-
-
-
-
- Using Reset1200
-
- Assuming you have run Reset1200. The standard popkey is "ctrl alt del"
- (hmmm, seen that somewhere before...). So whenever you press the
- "Ctrl"-key, one of the "Alt"-keys and the "Del"-key the machine will
- reboot. You can change this combination using the tooltypes or CLI-arg.
-
- You can remove Reset1200 from the memory if you run it a second time.
-
- If you run the Commodities Exchange program you can Disable/Enable
- Reset1200 from there or remove it from the memory.
