Subject: Bios Cold Boot Vector
Is the first BIOS vector (the cold boot vector) used once CP/M is
running? I want to be able to put another vector into that location
after the system has warm booted. Do any programs use the cold boot
once CP/M is running?
(Yes, I know that if they used it, it would cause the system to
cold boot. But do any programs purposely cold boot? Perhaps another
way of phrasing it is why does that vector exist?)
Thanks,
David
