Art,

There is nothing in the "manual" for RGBDOS that indicates that you should do that, but it would be 
trivial. One of the features of RGBDOS is that if drive 0 contains an AUTOEXEC.BAS program, it will 
auto-run when you turn on your system. So Allen could have had AUTOEXEC.BAS on the first Basic 
"drive" of his hard drive and that program could easily have included a POKE &HFF7F,&H23 to give him 
access to the floppy controller.
