Well, I fiddled with it a bunch more last night and got it to run.  In
fact, it needed a LOT of chip memory.  I looked and in my normal
running system I eat about half of the stuff just with utilities,
windows, etc.  Even shutting down everything I could shut down only got
me up to around 330K, which _still_ wasn't enough.  There were still
two things left, though: the 'noclick' util [which makes your floppy
driving stop ticking] and that I"m running an interlaced workbench.  So
I made a 'miniboot' disk that booted the system, but didn't do
_anything_ except bring up a 640x200 WB (still with HD and both
floppies mounted).  _that_ got me up to around 410K of chip.  And
_that_ was enough, so I got 'car' running.  Now to push my luck and see
if I can get 'StarTrek2' to run...
