True, that is why in addition to ProDOS I have the following on ROM.
custom ATINIT file (I use it to patch P8 at run time for 40 track
5.25" drives, my home made clock card [replacing that with Smartwatch]
and support for 4 disks in slot 7 [not needed when I burn v2.0.3]
BASIC.SYSTEM
FILER
Merlin Pro
a few other small utilities the name/purpose escapes me at the moment.
This is all with P8 v1.9. When I redo the ROMs with 2.0.3 I will probably add
a few others (I have only installed 2 ROMs so far so the above fits in 128KB).
How big is Appleworks 3 on disk?
