    Actually, I got System 6.0.1's 'System Disk' to boot in a 768K 
machine, the Finder desktop appeared at least. I'm quite positive 
it would have crashed if I tried doing anything in there though, 
it does *require* at least 1.125 MB of memory to operate (and more 
if if you want to do anything productive).

    Just thought that was an interesting bit of trivia. :-)
