Subj: Warm Boot

Picked this up here a while back:



'$INCLUDE: 'qb.bi'

DEF SEG = 0                'first indicate a warm boot

POKE &H472, &H34           'by writing 1234h at address
0000:0472h
POKE &H473, &H12           'use any other value for a cold
boot
DEF SEG = &HFFFF           'then call the boot routine in
BIOS
CALL ABSOLUTE(0)           'at address FFFF:0000h

DEF SEG                    'won't get here


This is a routine posted here last year that should work.
