How to enter software manager on reboot

[Morten]

Hi, hope someone can offer some help on the following issue:

1. I load a game with F7/F10 from the manager.
2. Is it then possible to do a reboot with Ctrl+A+A from the game and re-enter software menu without pushing the middle button?

I have enable auto boot and index Pre incrementing but this is not working.
How should I set the config file to re-enter software menu after reboot?
I don't want the last game to restart after reboot.

You have to enable "Force loading AUTOBOOT.HFE at power up".
But this only works after a power up, and not from Ctrl+A+A reset.
So you have to switch off and on the power supply for the file selector.

Thanks Jeff,
Do you think it would be possible to implement a function that loads AUTOBOOT.HFE from Ctrl+A+A reset by holding down a key while re-booting?
Holding down the key would then override loading of last disk image and instead enter the software menu.

The floppy drive cannot know when the computer is reset. This would need an hardware change to your computer (for example detecting the RESET signal from the keyboard).

There are maybe a way : connect the reset signal to the select button
