INSTRUCTIONS
FALCON BOOT
===========
A FALCON freebie from Mike of SINISTER DEVELOPMENTS!
Ok folks, I wrote a rough version of this program the day I got my FALCON.
It simply turned off the internal speaker after the fright I got when the
music in lotus turbo 3 came pounding out that infernal speaker.
The program on the disk installs a boot sector onto the disk in drive A.
Simply reboot and it gives you the following options:-
1 - Toggle the 68030's cache
2 - Toggle the Falcons internal speaker
3 - Autoboot a boot disk - must be present in drive!
4 - Quit and bypass hard drive
5 - Quit and continue as normal
The program won't work on any other machine, it does this by checking the
cookie jar for a '_MCH' entry if present then a value of $30000 indicates
that the machine is a falcon.
It seems to bomb if you REALLY try hard but its a minor niggle!!
