Hey, has anyone ever held down Open Apple-Option when they frist boot?
Well a friend of mind did and a little message came up in the box with the
little red bar that said Express Load. Does anyone know if that speeds up
the boot process?
Also I created a postscript file on my GS and took it to a Mac, used
AFX to transfer it to the Mac. Then I used a file called Sendps to print
it on the Laser printer. It worked fine the first time, but when I tried
it again after making a few changes to my origional file and recreating
the postscript file again, the Laserwriter would not print it. It came
up with an undefined symbol error. I went through the same procedure today
and the thing worked like a champ. Do you think is was just a bad creation
of the postscript file, or is there someting that I am doing wrong?
Has anyone ever tried to use a Mac laserwriter driver on a GS? :}
Just a wild idea I had.
One more thing, get Task Force Gs. Its great.

Nopers, the "ExpressLoad" logo at the "Welcome to the IIgs" GS/OS boot screen
does NOT speed up loading of GS/OS... it just seems to be a little logo.
You can force the logo to pop up on all GS/OS boots (without pressing the
OA/Option keys) by setting the AuxType of the EXPRESSLOAD file to $5254.
($5254 in ASCII happens to be "RT", Rob Turner's initials...)
(Similarly, you can force the system to boot up with that text screen of load
modules by setting the AuxType of START.GS.OS to $5254...)
