I have been able to boot off of the floppy drive using cntl-shift-alt
combination with Supra's autoboot program V2.62 and TOS 1.4. You have
to wait until the floppy drive light flashes before you press the key
combination. All goes well after that.

I do have another problem. I just installed DC Showit in my Auto folder,
and now I can't change to low resolution from the desktop. Is this a
feature of DC Showit or an incompatibility between it and TOS 1.4?

Thanx in advance
