Taifunboot is pretty neat.  However... it always boots ProDOS 8 from my
drive (whether or not option 0 or 1 is picked).  And I actually have to
grab the mouse and click the OK button - which is a bit annoying - I'd
like it to delay for a few seconds and then start the default system.

If I'm remembering correctly, the files I have are PRODOS (which is
really TaifunBoot) and PRODOS. (ProDOS-8 2.0.3) and PRODOS.1 (GS/OS
6.0.1).  When I install TaifunBoot, only ProDOS-8 was on the drive.  I
copied the GS/OS from my 3rd partition to the 1st partition and then
renamed the starting file - and it is the correct file since a
"-PRODOS.1" launches into the GS/OS boot.

That leads to another question regarding GS/OS. I haven't (yet) bought
anything more than the 1.25MB of RAM the machine currently has and the
installed version of GS/OS runs out of memory and cannot load Finder.
The 800K disk copy boots fine (albeit slow)... can I just start turning
things off (CDEVs and what-not?) or will I mess GS/OS up?  (Is there a
electronic copy of the users manual for GS/OS somewhere?)

Thanks!
