Falcon localization settings, where?

[jacolover]

Hi all, looking to change localization for my Falcon from German to US. I have TOS 4.01. I have been told that all language settings are contained in the TOS rom for the Falcon, and that all I need is to set the localization by ?what? Some said a CPX module but don't see any in my setup, I don't see any way to change my localization on this Falcon. Please help! Thanks!

You can use an nvram tool like bootconf. Some control panels may also work.

Think you need the language disk to change settings.

Thanks guys, I will give that a try!

OK, found the language disk and there is indeed a config file that I can use to set the language and keyboard, only problem is that when I reboot to get the settings I lose the hard drive boot sequence and have no access to the hard drive, can't even use "install devices" to get back the hard drive. A bit perplexed with this one, thanks.

Can't remember if its got Atari's hard drive driver on it ? Are you rebooting with the floppy inserted still after changing settings ?

If your NVRAM's dead and you have to set this each time you boot, perhaps have a look at FalcDate. Stick it in your auto-folder, it sets the NVRAM from a config file.

It's not its primary task (which is to set the date/time), but it'll do this too.
