I just purchased PC-Speed.  However, I use just plain Super Boot to boot
into any ST program or DOS program.  For DOS I just tell superboot to
boot the PC_SPEED.PRG program, and then make the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on
my DOS partition an "OTHER" file in SuperBoot.  So I have several customized
AUTOEXEC.BAT files in a DOS directory on the DOS partition.  The last thing
each customized AUTOEXEC.BAT file called is the program that I want to
start executing in DOS.

The $15 registration fee is probably much less expensive than the Talon
Technologies program.  So for those less classy and less well off people
like me SuperBoot remains a good working solution in lue of a probably
fully featured classy Talon program.
