It's the result of countless hours spent with a disassembler and a Mac ROM. :-)
There was only once an article in Apple's "develop" magazine that mentioned

Nothing much helpful there, though.

I don't know. Maybe B2 was able to initialize more (sound, CD-ROM, SCSI)
because it had more permissions?

Bye,
