No way GS/OS will fit on a 5.25" disk. With 4 megs of memory there should
be room for an 800K GS/OS System Disk on a Ram Card (made from part of the
4 megs of memory using the built-in CDA) and run the game. The Ram Card
can be booted too. It is possible to boot GS/OS from a 3.5" disk and then
insert and run a game. It is a pain when the System Disk has to be
reinserted if something is needed. Many games use their own resources.
