Thanks guys, I am now giving some serious thought to a Retro Arcade Console with the QL at the core, but at switch-on I don't want the user to have to see or press the F1/F2 configuration choice, so the next thing is in the EPROM code (which I assume will run first) can I get it jump passed the F1/F2 choice and just to if F2 has been pressed so that it finishes off the sequence as in TV mode and looks for a boot file or will it just load in extensions from the memory locations in the EPROM?
As far as I know, just Minerva supports an automatic start of the OS after a few seconds.
With Jochen's tool, you can also put a SuperBASIC program into the eprom. This will be set as a device BOOT, which the OS searches first.
