From the CLI window, issue the command:
ED s/Startup-Sequence
This loads the Startup-Sequence for the screen editor. The commands for using
the screen editor are listed in Appendix
B.
Any changes you make to the Startup-
Sequence are carried out each time the Amiga
is
booted up. So, to create a RAM
disk automatically when the Amiga boots up, type:
DIR
RAM:
after the echo "Use Preferences tool to set date" line.
To add a tool , use the CLI copy command to create that particular tool and assign
it
to the RAM disk.
When you now reset the Amiga, there will be a RAM disk icon along with the
Workbench disk icon. To remove the RAM disk icon and have the Amiga boot
up normally, you need only re-enter the screen editor for the Startup-Sequence
and delete the DIR RAM: line (and any other changes that refer to the RAM disk)
you added to the Startup-Sequence.
Setting the A501 Real Time Clock
The A501 Memory Expansion Unit increases the amount
of
memory
of
the
Amiga 500 to I Megabyte. In addition, '
it
has a battery backed up Real Time
Clock. This clock
is
different from the Clock tool
in
Workbench (the system
clock). Once set, this clock keeps the actual time continuously, and operates
even when the Amiga
is
off.
You set the time for the Real Time Clock from CLI, using the SetClock
command. Typically, you only need to set the time once, using the Save option
of
this command. You can also load the time from the Real Time Clock into the
system clock with the Load option
of
SetClock. This can be done automatically
by changing the Startup-Sequence.
