Awhile back, someone said that you could boot off of an internal ROM 'disk' on
the Mac Classic by holding cmd-opt-x-o (and waiting awhile) while the machine
was starting up.  Is this true??  Can you really start up a Classic without
a floppy or hard drive?  And if you can, does it have Appletalk on the ROM
system?  If that were true, the Classic could be used as part of the network,
and the user wouldn't have to supply the system disk.  Also, then the Classic
wuold be usable with just one drive and no hard drive, too.
