Hold the alt key when booting up and the Mac will prompt the user to select
the volume to boot from. This has been around for ages, since 90s. When it
comes to macs that are 68K based, there were ways to boot from another
partition but I don't have that information at the top of my head because
Yup.

Of course, switching OSes is much more complicated than change the
rotational speed
That "feature" has been available on Macs for many years. You can boot into

When phonograph records used to run at 33 1/3, 45 and 78 rpm, the
phonograph makers let us play them on the same machine by turning a switch.
Couldn't there be something like that on my Mac , or attached to my Mac,
for choosing between OS 9, OS X, Intel and whatever may be next to come?
