Also, monochrome machines manufactured after approximately when
NeXTStation Color machines started to ship have this clock chip.  As
far as I have seen, 040 upgrades to Cubes do NOT have this, but
cubes purchased with 040 boards in them originally might have them.
In any event, the way to get at the menu is to login as root on the
Console, then in Preferences choose the StartupDevice icon.  There
will be a little pop-up menu in the upper right side of the box if
this option is available on your machine.
