I found this bit about INITs particularly interesting because one of the
things I was most impressed with when I first got my HD20 and was booting off
the HD20 Startup (sigh, 64K ROMs...) was that it did indeed execute the INITs
from the System on the hard disk.  I appreciated this 'extra touch.'  It also
handled 'Set Startup' with no problems.  Cmd-Opt to rebuild the desktop had to 
have the HD20 floppy as the startup volume, though.  Otherwise, la bomba!

Any ideas why the Paradise is so different?  [or amazement that it is so close?]
