You can also boot any slot.  If I want to play games, I can boot
that partition, which boots plain system 6.0 with just a couple of
CDAs (joystick adjuster, flieatrix, gamehacker). If I want my
super-dooper brag setup, I boot the first partiion which has
System 601 and 9 baballion CDevs and NDAs and CDAs.  And it's
wicked fast using ProDOS-8.  But the main reason I got one
in the first place was that it supples terminator power
to the SCSI bus, which you have to hack the Apple card to do.  Some
Macintosh hard drives (where else you gonna buy a "GS" hard drive?)
do not work without this power.
