Anyone recall ? Wes

No, there is no key to stop the C128's 1571 from performing the autoboot process.

Thanks but that's not it either.....

I think maybe I modified the kernal myself to do it if its not an 'out of the box' available code routine, time to go back thu the disassembly and try and find the code I modified or find the Eprom I burnt it to.
