- Are there any parts of memory that that more or less goes
- untouched by ProDOS8 (on a //e) AND isn't wiped out by a Ctrl-OA-Reset?
-
- What I want to do is poke the date into memory so whenever I
- boot a new disk, the startup can just pull the date from memory
- rather than startup asking me every time (which is how I have it set
- up now) I have no clock card so obviously I can't pull it from there.
-
- Why do I reboot rather than use the "bye" command? (well,
- "Bird's Better Bye", not the standard Apple issue bye) Well for
- some reason my term program locks up when I exit one application
- and "bye" into my terminal. (And flicking the on/off switch on the
- modem doesn't work.)
-
- (OF COURSE I will be putting the date in there whenever I do a cold
- boot, please don't write me saying how turning off the computer
- will clear memory....)
