CSD is an AppleScript that allows the user to bypass the OSX System Preferences and change the Startup Disk.

NOTE: This script is no longer being developed for various reasons, primarily Apple's decision to prevent OS 9 booting in newer computers. Use if you are using an older Mac and please glance over the Readme file for troubleshooting.

Here are some key features of "Change Startup Disk":
Choose between OS 9 and OS X with the click of button.
OS9 Script included (with restart option).
Instructions included inside Simple Script on embedding your password so as to permanently bypass the dialog box.
Deluxe version works on multiple partitions/hard drives. Requires 24U Appearance OSAX--installer. (Freeware registration code embedded in script).

What's New:
Added German versions of all scripts, courtesty of Alfonso "H?cktik" Tavernier (alfonso@aja.de)
CSD-Original script should better handle hard drives that have been renamed.
Error-check routines for both scripts to handle a multiple of issues.
Dialog box at end of both scripts will give up after 6 seconds and restart the computer into OS9.
Hopefully the Deluxe version feels more streamlined.

Requirements:
Deluxe version requires 24U Appearance OSAX (installer included).
Both versions require Mac OS X 10.2 or higher. May work with earlier versions.
Probably won't work with International flavors of OSX. German version included.
