- 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.
