- Joe_Cool 1y agoYeah. It was neat. But it rebooted in under a second so a complete crash was no biggie. RAM wasn't even cleared so usually no (or limited) data loss. I thought it was PR#6 (redirect output) to boot from the disk controller in slot 6. I wonder what redirecting input would do.
- raw_anon_1111 1y agoThat was it at the AppleSoft BASIC prompt (or IN#6). But the parent poster commented on how to do it from assembly.
- Joe_Cool 1y agoThere is an even quicker way from the monitor: 6 CTRL+P Will instantly divert output to slot 6. (and boot the disk if there is hardware there)
- Polizeiposaune 1y agoBoth worked to start a boot from the disk controller in that slot.
