PRODOS in ROM chip; boot from ROM





I am setting up a Mac SE/30 to connect to the college Ethernet.  I need 
to do it this way because I get locked out of e-mail at every college 
vacation interval because at present, all e-mail is via pee cee klones in 
a college classroom.

A technician told me that the Mac launches its desktop from a system 
stored in ROMs; it does not need disk access or hard drive access.


PRODOS IIe/IIc is only about 35K or 35 blocks; this could easily fit on a 
ROM.

Since there are no more recent Prodos-8 versions other than v.2.0.3, 
could Prodos be placed on a ROm for super-fast booting???

If yes, then how???
