   Dos 3.3 Launcher works just fine with programs that work on a 48K
Apple II. This is because it (and ProDOS, which it uses to go out to
your HD) live in the upper 16K of ram. If a program (like Diversi-DOS)
wants to stomp all over all 64K of ram at will, it'll kill Dos 3.3
Launcher.

   Odd. Works just fine for me. Is your 1Mhz part of your GS at a
different speed than 1Mhz? ;)
