That's an interesting idea.  I didn't know you could do that.  I
suppose it's just a bat file that calls slot 6?  If I do that then I
could have the IIgs start scanning from slot 5 and put my SCSI card in
slot 1.  That would mean it would boot from the 5.25" first then the
3.5" drive (if the special boot disk is the 5.25" drive) then the HD.
I would like to get a copy of that.

How many games require the 5.25" controller?  Is it just Karateka and
a handful of others or is it more than that?  If it's only 3 or 4
games then it might not be worth the hassle.
