Nextor is located in slot 1.3. Whatever alpha key described in the manual as "slot key" I press at its start, machine boots into DOS. Should I expect Nextor in the target slot totally inactive when I press respective key?

Update: funny enough it works in the openMSX emulation, but does not work on real machine. GR8NET is installed into the slot 2 in mapper 8 mode (Nextor is in slot 2.2). In openMSX, when I press "D" key, Nextor does not initialize. On real machine - and it is Russian Yamaha MSX2 machine - when I press the same physical key with same scan code (this key is labelled "W"), Nextor initializes and boots DOS2 from SD-card. I expect it going directly to BASIC without any disk-ROM initializations.

v2.1.0: post-RC1 fixes (#61)
ab66c7d 
- Fix: broken RAM disk (introduced in RC1).
- Fix: disk errors for old MSX-DOS 1 file functions in BASIC crash the computer (#59).
- Add: new flag returned by LUN_INFO allows to instruct Nextor to ignore devices when searching devices for automatic device to drive mapping (#54).
- Fix: files can't have 3 or 4 in their names in DOS 1 mode (#55).
- Fix: after booting directly yo BASIC by pressing 3, CALL SYSTEM doesn't work.
- Fix: slot disable keys don't work on real MSX computers (#49).
- Add: new boot key, pressing N at boot time disables all the Nextor kernels present.
- Add: default DPB gets a fixed address of 7BAAh in banks 0 and 3, so it can be customized reliably.
- Add: PROMPT routine made available to drivers at address 41E8h (#42).
- Fix: the DOS 1 variables "data buffer changed" and "redirect console output to printer" were not zeroed when switching to DOS 1 mode at boot time.
- Fix: can't change volume name when there are long filename entries in the root directory (#57).
- Fix: absolute sector read/write functions not working properly when a file is mounted to a drive (#43).
- Fix: bad sector buffer management when writing to a mounted file causing data corruption on the mounted file (#58).
- Fix: drive parameters not updated on first access to a drive after a media change if the driver provides drive mapping via DRV_CONFIG, causing bad data read (#45).

So, the problem is limited to machines with Russian keyboard?

Does the "N" key introduced inv2.1.0 final release work?
