Ok...real simple question here...I've looked through Inside Mac's little
descriptions of the the startup sequences and couldn't find a satisfactory
answer so I now am aksing y'all:

Can a SE be remote-booted via a card?  And what kind of slot does the SE
have anyway?  PDS?  pre-NuBus?  IM doesn't really say in the SE queries
the slot at anytimein the startup sequence.  It doesthat on a Mac II,
the slot bus is polled to see if any of the cards have boot info before
it polls the internal drives and SCSI.  And I've heard that the new
Mac Classic will have remote-booting code in the ROM, but can it be
done with present-day SE's?

Thanks so much... :)
