	Well, I would like to add that holding down BOTH mouse buttons
during boot will make the keyboard processor (6301) enter external ROM mode.
It looks for ROM chips which the ST doesn't provide so of course it crashes.
So, if anyone says their ST crashes at boot when they hold both mouse buttons
down, say: "It's supposed to do that!".. just another note...

Any questions? (You can buy a piggyback RAM upgrade to about 8K for the 6301)
