Modifying s:startup-sequence on WB1.3
« on: March 28, 2012, 07:25:56 PM »
So, I want to modify my Workbench 1.3 backup copy's startup-sequence, but I have no idea how. I want to get "setmap s" to start automatically, when I boot up WB1.3. Also, to another copy of my Workbench, it would be cool, if TRANSWARP transfer program starts instantly that there's no WB screen, just CLI, where is TRANSWARP, ready to transfer files to Amiga :) Like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixWVr5Tcgt4&feature=related

Is that possible, and how its made?

Thanks!

Just use some text-editor program to edit startup-sequence, for example I used MEMacs that can be found on WB 1.3 Extras disk IIRC.

@ Bamiga2002:

It's been a long time since I messed with WB1.3, but he should be able to just open a CLI window and type "ED S:STARTUP-SEQUENCE" shouldn't he?

Or, just open a Shell after booting Workbench and type:

"ed s:startup-sequence" (without the quotes)

You will see all of the commands that are run, including the SetMap command.
To save your changes, press the ESC key followed by S and A, then press return.
Remember to only work with a copy of your Workbench disk.

ESC and Q will quit back to the shell.

To end the shell, type "endcli".

Actually you need to use Esc,X not Esc,S,A.

Hi!
Thanks for answers, but how can I put that transdisk that it starts before workbench? So like that the workbench's CLI just executes transdisk app, but no more. How to do that? Thanks!

Boot from your modified copy of Workbench, open a CLI and type:

delete s:startup-sequence
echo transwarp > s:startup-sequence

Valmis!

Wait until the floppy LED goes out, reboot to test.

This naturally assumes that transwarp is either in the root directory or in the c directory. If you put it somewhere else, you will need to use the full path name.

The first line is redundant.

Jope: It's not working :(

When I type in:

"echo transwarp > s:startup-sequence" (without quotes) I get Invalid argument to ECHO - message.

What now?

On 1.3 the redirection must be placed as first argument:

echo >s:startup-sequence transwarp


you can also use

copy * s:startup-sequence

then enter

transwarp

and press Ctrl-\

Heh, too many years without actively using 1.3 always gets me. :-)
