Oops.  I was a little quick on the draw there yesterday.  ProDOS does
indeed have memory requirements.  You need at least 64k of RAM to use
all but the first couple release of ProDOS (v1.0 and v1.0.1 I think
are the only ones that will work on a machine with 48k of RAM.)

My apologies if I caused any confusion.
