According to _Beneath_Apple_ProDOS_, the earliest versions of ProDOS
(we're talking 1.0.1 and maybe 1.0.2) would work on 48K systems.
However, due to memory conflicts, you couldn't use BASIC.SYSTEM on a
48K system.

My IIe started out with 128K, though, so I've never checked to see if
ProDOS really would boot into 128K.
