I can easily imagine....
A friend of mine patched Apple Pascal 1.1 to run on 80-track double
sided 5.25" floppies, which yielded not 800K but 640K -- but that too
was a huge improvement over the 140K standard Apple II diskettes.
I did the same to Apple DOS 3.3 and Apple CP/M (both Softcard CP/M
and Appli-Card CP/M). And here Apple Pascal and Apple CP/M showed one
big advantage over Apple DOS: one disk volume could be 640K large.
In Apple DOS one disk volume could not be larger than 400K....
