    Hello,


    For ACA1234 and a 1200 , what's the best approach or is a dual booting system possible?

    I.e., when 'some' acatool commands are present on startup, instead of using the CF card in the ACA1234's card slot, it will boot from a WB3.1 CF card on the internal system ide port using the ACA1234's 3.1 ROM.

    In effect disable or enable something so boot priority takes over.


    At the moment the 1200 (3.2.2 physical roms) is booting a WB3.2.2 card on the ACA1234.

    All good, but would like to experiment configuring a stock system with WB3.1 but also have quick access to 3.2.2 and beyond when needed without physically swapping CF cards.


    thank you

    There's nothing ACA1234-specific - I'd just use the tools that AmigaOS is offering: Boot priority and early startup menu.

    That's exactly what the early startup menu is for.
