I'm missing something here I've got version 1.8 - I don't have the
choice of which file to run.  I can just enter the title.  AFAICT,
TaifunBoot just numbers them "PRODOS." (the install did that for me)
and then I'm manually adding one more option, which TaifunBoot iself
told me needs to be named "PRODOS.1".

In summary, TaifunBoot itself is the file named "PRODOS".  GS/OS Loader
is named "PRODOS." and ProDOS 8 2.0.3 is named "PRODOS.1"...
unfortunately I only seem to get the system named "PRODOS." to start,
regardless of which menu is picked.  At this point, the 8 or 9 menu
options are worthless since it only boots to the first one...   :-(
