In Apple/Net 6428 legler@masig2.masig1.ocean.fsu.edu asks questions about a GS
Rom 03. 

My replies:
1) The Rom 03 comes with 1 Meg stock of RAM. That should be enough for
Nucleus, if you have no space alloted for a RAM disk.

2) You can keep the Finder from running by deleting it. Then place the program
you want to auto-run in the System folder and rename it 'START'. Note that if
the program you want to auto-run is ProDOS 8 based you will have to put the P*
file back on the disk.  (Ooops not P* but P8). If you still need it to have
room, try getting rid of the Control Panel CDEV and CDEV files. You can access
the control panel using Open Apple-Control-Escape anyway so the desktop
version is mainly there for neophytes and those who don't like the old style
version.

3) I'm glad to here the GS can compete a little with the higher-up Macs. If
you still need the extra drive...rent it for the two months...rentals are
cheap and relatively easy to get ahold of. Ditto for a hard drive. (PS all Mac
SCSI drives are 100% compatible with the GS...you just have to reformat them
to ProDOS...which erases any Mac stuff you might have on it)
