Roger,
Here is a specific example. Take a normal DOS1.1 ROM and change two
bytes at $C0E5 and $C0E6 to $DF02. When that ROM starts, it will
immediately issue the DOS command and boot OS-9 from a floppy.
You can test this with a Coco3 by turning on the unit and issuing the
following:
POKE&HC0E5,&HDF
POKE&HC0E6,&H02
EXEC&HC002
You were probably thinking of having the kernel in the DOS ROM. With a
Coco3, the SEB will patch the RAM image of the ROM and most likely trash
the kernel.
