Reboot

[Scrapyard]

I forgot how to reboot my computer from QB :???:
I thought it was some POKE or OUT (or am I wrong here)....

Someone who knows it??

[Glenn]

DEF SEG = &HFFFF
CALL ABSOLUTE(0)
END

I'd be surprised if it works if windows is running, however.

dav gave me some code. i think it was from toshi's site. ill post it later if you cant find it.

DEF SEG = &HFFFF
CALL ABSOLUTE(0)
END

Well if that code doesn't work, it shouldn't be hard to get windows to crash.. especially with something like DEF SEG = RND * 32767 : POKE (RND *32767),RND * 32767 or something ;-)

just terminates the DOS window and returns to windows.

Code:

'===========================================================================
' Subject: WARM/COLD REBOOT                  Date: Unknown Date (00:00)  
' Author:  Unknown Author                    Code: QB, PDS                
' Keys:    WARM,COLD,REBOOT                Packet: DOS.ABC
'===========================================================================
     ' Warm Reboot

     DEF SEG = 0
     IF WarmBoot% = True THEN
          POKE &H473, &H12 ' Setup for Warm Boot
          POKE &H472, &H34
     ELSE
          POKE &H472, &H12 ' Setup for Cold Boot
          POKE &H473, &H34 ' tho not really nessary
     END IF
     DEF SEG = &HFFFF
     CALL Absolute(0)

Never underestimate 'da mighty ABC packets!

According to a reference I'm reading, your first example is for a warm boot which may alter memory, but the cold boot should have zeroes POKEd to both addresses. For a warm boot without altering memory, it should be

POKE &H472, &H21
POKE &H473, &H43

Hey thanks people :wink:

Er... :o

WARM and COLD reboot? Huh? WT is the difference between rebooting and rebooting?

Btw, where were those handy ABC-packets?

[Glenn]

reset than a warm boot does. (It's called "cold boot" because it's closer to (but not exactly the same) as what happens when you boot up from a power-off (i.e., "cold") state.)
