       Want to power up your system with one switch, but you have to 
    start your hard drive and wait for it to come up to speed?  Or do 
    you have to wait 90 seconds or hit a key during boot because you have 
    a newer TOS with a built in delay?

       Well BootTyme may cure these delays for you.  Install BootTyme 
    with the instalation program.  Select the Poll HD button and click 
    on the 'Install BootTyme' button.  BootTyme will write the time-out 
    information on your drive A floppy, at boot-up your system will 
    boot as soon as your hard drive is ready, no preset time delays. 

       BootTyme may not work on all hard drives, some hard drives do 
    not allow polling during spin-up.  BootTyme may still be used with 
    these drives as a timer only by selecting the 'Timer' button in the 
    BootTyme installation box.

       BootTyme has a built in time-out that will turn control over to 
    the system after a preset time delay.  This feature is for booting 
    without the hard drive turned on, and for setting the delay when 
    'Timer' is selected.  This delay will count down to zero then turn 
    control over to the system.  This delay also clears the 90 second 
    delay on systems with the newer TOS (same as pressing a key).  This 
    time-out delay can be set for 1 to 90 seconds, and is configurable 
    by the user.

       You may save the default values by clicking on the 'Save 
    Defaults' button in the BootTyme Installation box.  The default 
    values are saved to the path where the BootTyme Installation 
    Program was launched.

       BootTyme may be removed from the floppy in drive A by clicking 
    on the 'Remove BootTyme' button in the BootTyme Installation box.

       Click on the copyright symbol in the BootTyme Installation box 
    for information about BootTyme.

        WARNINGS!
    
       BootTyme writes to the boot sector of the floppy in drive A, 
    this is where some programs that boot from floppy store their 
    installation data, some programs may also store other information 
    in the boot sector.  BootTyme will write over this data, for this 
    reason DO NOT INSTALL BootTyme ON A BOOTABLE FLOPPY.  Install 
    BootTyme on a freshly formated floppy, then put this floppy in 
    drive A when you turn on your system.
