STEALMEMBOOT
This utility is the second generation of NOFAST programs (noFAST, Hide, etc...).
StealMemBoot modifies the boot block of a disk, so that after booting on
this disk, all memory allocations will take place in Chip memory.
This is useful for Games or SlideShows that won't work correctly on Amigas
with more then 512Kb memory.
Usage :
You may use StealMemBoot from CLI or from Workbench by clicking on its icon.
StealMemBoot will ask you the disk you want to patch in drive DF0:.
Remove the write-protect tag on the disk, insert the disk, and type RETURN.
You may now boot on the modified disk. A message will remind you the
boot block has been modified.
Caveats:
IMPORTANT: StealMemBoot DOES NOT check if the involved boot block is standard.
PLEASE check the disk (with Sec, DiskZap, etc...) before crashing the boot
block.
Side-effect: StealMemBoot will eventually kill the virus installed on the disk.
