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?
I don't think so, but Minerva will - at least it shows the F1/F2 but
presses F2 after an interval.
.... but not what you want.
I bet that though could be patched. The code is open source.
Re burning you should look for a second hand QEPIII eprom programmer.
It fits in the expansion slot so saves/reads from microdrive.
I used an internally expanded QL and Romdisq so bypassed the microdrives.
