I think the demand for this is important, so forgive me for posting
here instead of moderated groups.
Following the discussions on Boot BLock checksum, and problems with
expansion memory, comes a simple utility that most of you will find useful.
Don't forget to remove the signature at the end of this posting.
: This archive contains the following files...
: 'stealmemboot.readme'
: 'stealmemboot.info.uue'
: 'stealmemboot.uue'
: To extract them, run the following through /bin/sh
echo x - stealmemboot.readme
sed 's/^X//' > stealmemboot.readme << '//END'
X
X STEALMEMBOOT
X
XThis utility is the second generation of NOFAST programs (noFAST, Hide, etc...).
XStealMemBoot modifies the boot block of a disk, so that after booting on
Xthis disk, all memory allocations will take place in Chip memory.
XThis is useful for Games or SlideShows that won't work correctly on Amigas
Xwith more then 512Kb memory.
X
XUsage :
XYou may use StealMemBoot from CLI or from Workbench by clicking on its icon.
XStealMemBoot will ask you the disk you want to patch in drive DF0:.
XRemove the write-protect tag on the disk, insert the disk, and type RETURN.
XYou may now boot on the modified disk. A message will remind you the
Xboot block has been modified.
X
XCaveats:
XIMPORTANT: StealMemBoot DOES NOT check if the involved boot block is standard.
XPLEASE check the disk (with Sec, DiskZap, etc...) before crashing the boot
Xblock.
XSide-effect: StealMemBoot will eventually kill the virus installed on the disk.
