I have the use of a ROM03 GS for a 2 month period.  It is stock with
no cards, 1-3.5" drive and 2-5.25" drives.  I have System 5.0.2, but
have no manuals.  I have many years experience with Apple IIe's and
Mac's but have a few questions about the GS.
 
1)  How much memory does this machine have, and is the memory capacity
the problem when I try to run such things as Photonix, or Nucleus.  I
am getting insufficient memory error messages when I boot these
disks... 
 
2) I have a stripped-down boot disk(removed DA's, Fonts,and P8), but
still need to make it smaller.  Can someone tell me how I can make a
startup disk that will boot up with a default program without starting
the Finder ? (ala a .SYSTEM file on the IIe) ?
 
3) I am impressed with the speed of the GS desktop environment.  It
seems to be faster than a stock MacII, but still wish I had a second
3.5 disk drive (or a hard disk) so I wouldn't have to keep
disk-swapping! 
 
Thanks for all your help.
