A question for System 7 testers:

How much free RAM can a user of a 4-meg Macintosh Plus expect to have
for applications under System 7, assuming a modest (i.e. 128K or so)
disk cache?  My worry is that with the extra functionality of System
7, plus the many software patches required for the old Macs, that 4
megs will be pushing the lower limit of functionality under
Multifinder.

Any comments will be appreciated...
