Yes, that works fine IF YOU ARE USING DIVERSI-CACHE.  The Diversi-Cache
documentation didn't make it too clear that the Shift-Apple-Ctrl-Reset
thing is a FEATURE OF DIVERSI-CACHE, not of the IIgs's ROM.

At least one magazine also published the "tip" about using Shift with
Apple-Ctrl-Reset, without mentioning Diversi-Cache at all.  I assume
the author misread the Diversi-Cache documentation & forgot where he
read it.

By the way, from Davex (a Shareware command shell of mine), "boot -i"
will also do the trick ("i" means Ice-cold).
