- =======================================

- HELLO DEAR USER!!!
-
- I made this utility cause I grew fuckin' tired of havin' to:
- get my SEKA, load the bootloader-code, write new values to it,
- make a WI, get A-mon, [40000 loader, #40000, >40000 0 0 2,
- get the disk with the bootmenu-WI (or whatever), [40000 bootmenu,
- >40000 0 ? ? -- RESET -- EVERY time I felt like makin' anything
- havin' to do with this little shitty loader...
- (sure... I could have changed the values in the WI instead -
- but - I still find this utility better)
-
- Well, whatsoever this utility makes it easier for all of us using
- it! All you have to do is:
- 1. Make your write-image (absolute-code-mode(ORG-LOAD))
- 2. Load BOOTLOADER CONSTRUCTION KIT
- 3. Follow the instructions... and that's it!!
-
- TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE EASY - HERE IS AN EXAMPLE!
- you'll be presented with a screen something like this:
- (without esc-codes!)
-
- INPUT HANDLES BOTH DEC(=n) AND HEX(=$n).
- USE SMALL LETTERS WHEN WRITING IN HEX!!!
-
- READING-SEQUENCE...
-
- FILENAME:[the file you want to be loaded and run from the boot]
- LENGTH OF FILE:[length of file in bytes]
- reading file...
-
-
- DATA-SEQUENCE...
-
- START SAVING ON SECTOR:[the sector on wich you want your file
- to start getting saved on]
- READ TO ADDRESS: [the memory-location you want the loader
- to read your file to]
- JUMP TO ADDRESS: [address to jump to in order to run your file(code!)]
-
- [RETURN] TO ENTER WRITING-SEQUENCE...
- [ESCAPE][RETURN] TO START ALL OVER AGAIN
-
- (new screen!!!)
-
- INPUT-DATA WRITTEN TO RAM-BOOT...(input-data transfered to loader in RAM)
- - CHECKSUM CALCULATED -
-
- WRITING-SEQUENCE...
-
- LEFT MOUSE-BUTTON TO:
- 1. INSTALL BOOTLOADER
- 2. WRITE FILE TO SPECIFIED SECTOR(S)
-
- RIGHT MOUSE-BUTTON TO OUIT...
- [ESCAPE][RETURN] TO START ALL OVER AGAIN...
-
- (if you press left button, the following appears)
-
- BOOTLOADER INSTALLED...
- FILE SAVED FROM SECTOR: [STARTSECTOR (=START SAVING ON SECTOR)]
- TO SECTOR [STARTSECTOR+[LENGTH OF FILE/512]+1]
- (integer less than or equal to [LOF/512] => +1)
-
- (end of page)
- *************
- YOUR BOOT AND FILE IS WRITTEN TO YOUR DISK... - QUITE EASY EH?
- sorry about this version - you still can't make MEGA-BOOT-LOADERS
- (many files loading from boot )
- NO WORRIES!!! WATCH OUT AND WHO KNOWS...(?)
-
-
- HOPE YOU'LL HAVE SOME USE OF THIS VERSION!
