That's how I did it :-)

That was the plan, tho it seemed to require a couple of hundred to do it,
which seemed strange.  I've just looked at it again and think I see the
problem:  I don't think the initial press is seen, and it takes until the
repeat before it's seen.  I've made a change so it presses and releases on
alternate interrupts, and that seems to fix it.  Still, with the fast
booting option enabled a value of 5 was enough, but it required 10 when it
was disabled (a little odd that).

I've also changed it so it only does it when a disk is present in drive 1.
It'd probably also be easy to check to see if the disk is bootable first
too...
