	Actually there was mention in early ProDOS 8 documentation that it
would run on a 48K II, but Basic.System would not.  Off hand I don't know
whether this made it in any of the release versions, but Adam may well be right
about version 1.0 without looking at old references I don't have at hand.  It
might not have made it even this far but just been implemented on beta
versions.  I hope someone has the early references handy and can check on this.
