SpartaDOS X Reference Manual

The Command Processor — Commands



COLD Command

Index
Purpose This command reboots the system (by doing a jump through $E477).
 
Syntax COLD [/CN]
 
Type Internal
 
Related BOOT, CAR
 
Remarks   This command is an alternative to switching the computer's power off and back on. The major advantage of using COLD is that the extended banks of RAM will retain their memory, thus the data in your RAMDISKS will still be there. (See the RAMDISK.SYS driver description.) This is equivalent to the SpartaDOS 3.2 command:

    RUN E477

This command has two options, they are:

C Reboot the computer with SpartaDOS X disabled and the cartridge plugged into SpartaDOS X enabled.
N Reboot the computer as if there were no cartridges in your computer.

Hold down <OPTION> while pressing <RETURN> to reboot without internal BASIC.

Once SpartaDOS X has been disabled, it will be necessary to turn the computer off and back on to re-enable SpartaDOS X.
