Hi.  I currently have a rather tired old A500, with an almost new (Commodore)
second drive.  The internal drive appears to be getting a little bit fussy
about which protected disks it will boot, and I was just wondering if it is
possible (via some small hardware hack) to make the machine boot from df1:
instead of df0:.  I've heard that the Pheonix motherboard for the A1000 has
this capability via a switch.  Any suggestions anyone?

Thanks, Elson
