There is a cool little utility called p8KeyChange floating around on ftp
sites and also found on the CD from the users group in Germany.
It will change the keypress in System 6.0.1 to esc, delete, or tab
instead of using the numeral 8 for the reason of incompatibility with
_some_ RamFAST SCSI cards.  I have my System use the <esc> to boot
into ProDOS 8 which I prefer anyway.
