    I tried moving the RAMFast to slot 6 (used to be in slot 7), but Xenocide
still doesn't work.  It hangs just before the point when it asks for the key
disk.  Has anyone tried using the unprotected version of Xenocide?  Since it
doesn't have to look for the floppy, it might work with the RAMFast.

    I also encountered a little quirk I never knew about.  I forgot to change
the boot slot from Slot 7 when I moved the RAMFast, but the system managed to
find the first partition and boot from it anyway!  Does the GS automatically
poll each slot until it finds something to boot?  I thought this only happens
when the Startup Slot is set to 'Scan'.
