	I have a 520STFM upgraded to 1 meg which ran FALCON just fine until
	I installed the six chip TOS 1.4. Now it takes about 20 accesses on
	disk two, numerous disk swaps ( to send the heads various places ?? )
	before it'll finish the boot. Quite frustrating. 

	Any thoughts on installing both versions at once, hardware switch
	selectable?
