The Supra hard drive boot override does work with the new ROM's;
timing just becomes critical.  You can't keep the keys held down
through the whole boot sequence, because the state gets cleared
during system initialization before the driver is called.

Basically you have to judge when initialization is over (relatively
easy on monochrome displays; harder on color systems) and hit
the keys then before the system starts reading boot sectors.
