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.
I thought Super Gold Card and probably Gold Card did this. The F1/F2 choice is
just not there (if you have requested that).
Ah yes you are right, but I think it only 'presses' it - the start
screen still appears I believe.
I use Minerva so haven't bothered with that for years.
