The limitation seems to be free memory seen in Mac mode rather than actual ST
memory: I wrote stacks using System 5.3/Finder 4.1[<-?] with a 1-Meg 520
and had no problem. Maybe you need to cut down on Mac accessories and fonts,
too, but I recall my system was pretty loaded and still worked fine.(I have
more memory now and use System 6.0.2.)
