- COLDBOOT.COM reboots the system as though you had
- turned the power off and back on again. Its basic
- operation is-- 1) set low ram flag at 40:72 to FFFF
- to cause a memory test, 2) reset the diskette i/o
- system, 3) stop the floppy drive motors, and 4)
- jump to the power-on start-up location, FFFF:0.

- This program is useful to perform the power-on memory
- diagnostics during a reboot, read changed dip switches,
- etc. It has been tested on a PC and an XT and works for
- both.
