 ===== Tips for using the BooSt bootloader in the netbook =====
-To access some BooSt functions you need a docking station or a 'dongle' (which is a connector for the docking station socket with resistors between appropriate pins). Without it only a subset of commands is available.\\ \\ Boot into BooSt, either by placing nbp on a docking station with only s/w 5 ON, or by using a BooSt dongle. If you don't have one, make one yourself.\\ \\ Information about this can be seen here: [[http://www.nijdam.de/psion/BooStDongle.pdf|BooSt Dongle (pdf)]]

+\\ \\ There exist also an alternative method to enter Boost without any dongle usage, just by entering a 'magic' sequence of digits on the keyboard. I have only seen it demonstrated once, but don't know what this 'magic' number is.
