RAD: ponderings
I want to be able to click on an icon that makes a temporary RAD:, copies an alternative startup-sequence (+ C: Libs: etc) that when I reset, boots up and bypasses my usual startup-sequence (WB3.1 on DH0 so that I can run my application Wordworth2 AGA in a pure environment (More memory to use).
When I reset again, I wan't it to revert back to loading Workbench from the hard-disk. Is this even possible? |

Sounds feasible... but I think the RAD would use up more memory than the normal Workbench load...?

Good point! I hadn't thought of that, Mind you, my workbench is loaded, commodities in the startup, toolmanager, toolsdaemon, newicons etc. So maybe I could still gain some. I was looking on Aminet at boot managers, maybe that's the way I should go.

I think ResetRun should suit your need http://pp.siedziba.pl/en/amiga.php.
If the RAD device is a problem, there's also ResetRun2 on aminet which use a file for RAD definition and so you can use statram.device as a replacement of ramdrive.device (which dynamically allocate the memory) |

AFAIK a RAD device will stay active until you perform a cold boot.
