(1) All Zenith machines have a ROM monitor which can be accessed by the 
    following interrupt

                   ctrl-alt-ins   key combination.

    If  bf   is entered on the ? prompt, boot will proceed from floppy A;
    If  bw   is entered                  boot will proceed from winchester C.

    This can be used to avoid a hard-disk boot.

(2) Alternately, switch seetings exist to invoke the ROM monitor on power-up,
    after which proceed as above.

(3) Rom monitor help can be invoked by entering  ?  on the ? prompt.

(4) For what its is worth -- I love windows and I love mice;  I find myself
    moving the mouse instinctively now, even if the program I am using
    refuses to react.  MS Windows is valuable to me because it provides a
    reasonable amount of multi-tasking, which is not, for example, available
    with GEM or other products.  I can have several programs operating in the
    background while I am engaged in a foreground task.  AND IT WORKS!
