I have a question – why would I want autobooting? I currently have the C Ltd controller and a 65 meg drive. Booting from floppy with a full WB 1.3 type startup-sequence plus some other stuff takes less than 40 seconds from power-on. After I reformat the drive to get better than 154k (diskperf) reads, I expect to do even better. Local people with autoboot say it takes about 20 seconds just to see the workbench screen pop up. By then I'm well into my s-s. So why would I want to spend money for the autoboot capability plus the 1.3 ROMS? Thanks for any replies.
