Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~ BRAM Checker is an Apple IIgs Temporary Initialization file (TIF) that checks the contents of the battery RAM present in an Apple IIgs for changes from an image that is saved to the disk. You will be notified at boot time of any changes to the battery ram since the last time you booted the computer. The program will inform you of the battery RAM locations that were changed, and give you the opportunity to restore the old values or continue booting with the new values. Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just copy the file "BRAM.Checker" to the "*:System:System.Setup" folder on your boot disk. That is all. Using the Program ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you make a change (or someone else does) to your battery RAM, for example, change the monitor border color, BRAM.Checker will inform you of the change during the next boot. You will have the option of accepting the changes and continuing with the boot, or you may restore the old values. If the battery RAM has changed, the IIgs boot process will be interrupted by a dialog on the text screen informing you that there was a change. Press ESC to see which values were actually changed; press return to simply accept the changes and continue. After viewing which items were changed, another dialog allows you to either restore the old values (press ESC), or continue with the new (changed) values (press RETURN). BRAM.Checker saves a copy of your battery RAM to a file called "BRAM.Image" in your System.Setup folder. This saved image is compared to the battery RAM image at boot time, and you are informed of differences. That's it. Have fun with it.
