- NAME
-
- SysBoot 0.4
- Copyright © 1995 by Timo C. Nentwig
-
-
-
-
- STATUS
-
- SysBoot is now (0.4 and higher) Giftware. That means that you (the
- user of SysBoot) MUST send me anything for SysBoot.
-
-
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
-
- AmigaOS 2+
- 7Bit Screeenmode
-
-
-
-
- PURPOSE
-
-
- [SFS-Replacement]
-
- SysBoot opens a window on its own custom screen in which a Amiga and
- a Apple image is displayed.
-
- Now the user can choose between booting either the Amiga or the MAC
- (ShapeShifter).
-
- So, only the Amiga or only the Apple is booting and you save memory.
-
-
-
-
- USAGE
-
- If Apple is choosed, SysBoot returns WARN.
-
- Your Startup-Sequence could look so:
-
-
- SysBoot <options>
- IF WARN
- Execute S:Mac-Startup
- ELSE
- Execute S:Amiga-Startup
- ENDIF
-
-
-
-
- OPTIONS
-
-
- The advantage in opposite to SFS is that SysBoot is configurable.
-
-
-
- SysBoot <options>
-
-
- EXAMPLE
-
- SysBoot -id 1078067204 -imag 4 -t 15 -fc 4
-
-
-
- OPTIONS
-
- 1) -t <sec> oder -timeout <sec>
-
- After <sec> SysBoot automatically starts the Amiga.
-
-
-
-
- 2) -id <id> oder -modeid <id>
-
- ModeID defines the screenmode that SysBoot should use.
-
- Get <id> with GetModeID (included in this archive) from the PicBoot
- archive.
-
-
-
-
- 3) -aimg <1-4> oder -amigaimage <1-4>
-
- Choose between 4 Amiga images.
-
-
-
-
- 4) -fc <0-127> oder framecolor <0-127>
-
- Define color of frame with which selecting the gadgets.
-
-
-
-
- TODO
-
- Well, SysBoot's still pre-1.0 but I think there's not very much to
- do.
-
- I still don't like the images although they are in 7 bits now ...
-
- Please send me images if you have any nice images !!! That would be
- a greate gift ;-) !!
