Yes.

I will post the hardware detection program.   It flashes to slot 0 in place of the stock MENU that would normally be placed there
You can then put the various menus that u make into slot 1000 plus. Just modify the menu call DATA from the hardware detection program to point to the slot with the menu for that specific  hardware configuration

The menu that is auto executed will work exactly the same way as if it were the default menu in slot 0

Hi Henry,

Great job and sounds nice.  Is this something you can share with other
CocoFLASH owners?

I believe Jim has a git repo for the hardware product:

https://github.com/go4retro/CocoFLASH


.. and Barry has a link for the menu system and documentation:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8RnV5G0TZFZTFVlVHlWVHRreTg


Perhaps you can add your 100 in 1 menu system (with the mass flasher, etc.)
and documentation online as well?

Thanks!
