Hello,
I'm wondering about the feasibility of making an Internet boot disk for my A1200. The main reason is due to the memory that gets used/wasted if I'm not going online. My A1200 has WB 3.1, 2MB RAM, and 8GB CF (compact flash). While a floppy does not have the space for everything (OS files, Roadshow, drivers, ftp, etc) my expectation would be to have a stripped down boot disk with a user-startup script that calls the files from CF.
Another direction would be to have a menu option at boot, off the CF. Is there a 'Choose your boot config' menu app out there?
It's been 20+ yrs since I played with the startup scripts so bare with me if there are big obvious answers. Is it possible to have a startup script that has a wait function and 'read an input or continue on'? Something (logically) like the semi-BASIC below
print "Would you like to Game, WB, or Internet?"
wait 5 secs
if G goto game-startup
if W goto wb-startup
if I goto internet-startup
else goto wb-startup
