just a word of warning.  

Apple changed the boot block on system 5.0 to allow the loading of
sparse PRODOS files.

I wanted to use Smartboot 8/16, but was afraid that the boot block that
it installs might cause the system to break  (or, said correctly, i was
afraid that the boot block that allows the choice between Pro 8 and
GS/OS would not work with later version of GS/OS).

If someone could explore the problems and possibilities of adding the
new boot block code to Smartboot 8/16, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks.
