If I boot my IIgs with GS/OS and my Mac Classic II with
System 7.5.5 (10/160) and start the boot at the same time,
my IIgs will be booted and ready to go a good 10-20 seconds
faster than my Classic II.  Plus System 7.5.5 seems to take
30-35 meg off my HD where System 7.1 only took around
10-15 meg.
