Short: Use the boot menu with >15kHz. OS3 only. Author: scherer@cris.fh-coburg.de Uploader: scherer cris fh-coburg de Type: util/boot Architecture: m68k-amigaos AAStarter --------- Version 1.2 (22.01.95) © 1994,95 Stefan Scherer WHAT DOES AASTARTER? -------------------- The program AAStarter modifies the "Amiga Early Startup Control". With this change you can use the boot menu with monitors which can't display 15kHz screen modes. The boot menu is then opened with a DblNTSC screen mode. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ------------------- This program needs the AA chipset. It also needs the kickstart 39 or higher. This program has been tested with various kickstarts (39.106, 40.62 and 40.70).

For more information please read "AFD-COPYRIGHT" (Version 1 or higher). AUTHOR ------ If this program makes your boot menu work, please give me a note. You have saved a lot of money with this program, because you needn't buy an expensive scan doubler. If you have any questions, suggestions, ... then contact me.
