Regarding the new 1.3 Autobooting devices... Couldn't you autoboot using
1.2?  If you think about it, that's what a virus does, correct?  If there is
a WB disk in DF0: upon bootup, it will infect the disk, and if not, _it will
show that "Your Amiga is alive" message_.  Now, instead of printing the
method, jump to a subroutine that would simulate the autoboot process.

Is this feasable?  If so, how easy/hard would it be to implement?
