I finally got around to playing with ProDOS 2.4.1. Very nice work John and Peter!
I have Bitsy Bye setup & working on a new "projects" disk but just wanted to make sure I understand the process correctly to have Bitsy Bye autostart:
1. Format blank ProDOS disk (also include the boot sector / loader )
2. Files need to be in this order in the catalog ...
QUIT.SYSTEM
PRODOS
Anything else?
i.e. The boot sector searches the volume for and loads PRODOS when in turn then searches for the first SYS file. It finds and loads QUIT.SYSTEM which in turn calls BYE which triggers the built-in Bitsy Bye in the new ProDOS 2.4.x. Correct?
I didn't see any mention of QUIT.SYSTEM in any of the readme's?
* ProDOS_2_4_readme.TXT
* ProDOS_2_4_1_readme.TXT
Maybe add a note for 2.4.2 ? :-)
I did a search in this group for "bitsy bye" but nothing relevant turned up.
TIA.
