	That's pretty impressive for a 68000... thanks for the info.

	How about:

	KickStart on disk... boot loaded into eeprom, and from then on
	(until a new version of the OS comes out), you simply boot from
	the eeprom.

	The only problem is that 256K of eeprom is rather costly.  I would
	be interested if anyone at commodore could offer a comparison between
	the cost of wcs RAM and wcs EEPROM

	In 1.2 Beta II, you can't run DiskDoctor with Execute() (e.g. from
	my shell).  I see no reason for this restriction.
