Does anybody know anything about the "boot" that is incurred by holding
down the START button when you power up?  A number of commercially available
software packages load their software this way.  I am curious as to exactly
what happens in this mode, where the loaded material ends up (is it always
the same?) and where control is transferred following a successful load....

I guess this is just true of the cassette deck, now that I think about it. 
I don't have a disk drive (sob, choke...).
