   Dos 3.3 disks have a fairly hard limit of 400K per disk, unless you
pretty much rewrite some chunks from scratch. Dos 3.3 Launcher lets
you mount a Dos 3.3 140K disk image on a ProDOS volume and use it that
way. The restrictions on using Dos 3.3 Launcher is that programs can
only use the lower 48K of ram; the upper 16 is reserved for ProDOS
(that which actually does the disk i/o)
