Has anybody out there started using the Classic ROM disk as the active system
folder?  IMHO, it all sounds fairly useless - if the system folder is in ROM,
you wouldn't be able to add INIT's, fonts, DA's, etc. etc. etc.  Would anybody
really tolerate this for more than five minutes?  Or is there a way around
it that I am overlooking?

How about a ROM disk with hooks to the hard disk, so you can add all those
extras that we all need and keep the main System on ROM?
