There was an article in PC Tech Journal a few years ago that covered 1.1 and
a small utility to do dual boot. It put a menu up on the screen and you
hit one of two keys for the system to boot, with a 15 second timeout
after which a 'preferred' system was booted.

Also see a recent PC Magazine and a sophisticated utility called MBOOT. You'll
need to download it from someplace (it will probably appear somewhere on the
net).
