ReKickReset 40.1 Copyright © 1996 by Mark Knibbs Freely distributable provided no changes are made and no charge above reasonable distribution costs is levied. This program may be included on Aminet CDs. ReKickReset is a tool for users of ReKick. Purpose: Enable the user to reset a ReKicked machine as transparently as possible directly back into the RAM Kickstart. Features: · Patches exec.library/ColdReboot() to call the new reset routine. · Installs a keyboard.device reset handler, to enable Ctrl- Amiga-Amiga keyboard resets to work properly. · Automatically handles variable start-of-chip-memory addresses. The default is $400, but users of ShapeShifter will be using a higher value, probably $2000 or $3000. Usage: Copy ReKickReset to C:. Add it to your startup-sequence as early as possible (but after ReKick itself, obviously) Caveats: · If your Amiga has a lame keyboard, the reset handler feature may not be available to you. My Amiga 2000 keyboard does support this feature. · If the RAM-based Kickstart has become corrupted, your Amiga will most likely crash at reset. Just press Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga to go back to the ROM Kickstart in this case. · It is not possible in this version to use reset-surviving ROMTags, to preserve the alert-timing value in ExecBase or to enable use of the Boot Menu. Bugs: Does not currently check whether the reset handler has already been installed if you run it more than once. This should be harmless, and won't be a problem if used in the suggested manner. History: 40.1 (22.8.96) First public release. Support: This version does pretty much all that I require. However, if you have any suggestions, comments or bug reports, I would like you to tell me.
