Just tried out BOOT.BA <http://BOOT.BA> and it works pretty well. Only
thing I don't love about it, is that you need to re-enter the
Time/Date after removing Disk-BASIC.
I think I'm going to modify it to store the current date/time in
ALTLCD before clearing the ram, as I think that location ought to be
protected.
