Actually, there's only 16K of ROM in the IIe (not counting the video
and keyboard ROMs since they're not accessible to the processor).  It
shouldn't be too hard for Apple to do this in any future II, though.
You'd probably want BASIC.SYSTEM as well, so you'll need about 48K of
ROM; three 27128s can hold this amount.

Opps. I ment to add > quote indicators. Oh well. The GS supports up to 1
Meg of ROM, and the ROM 3 machine only uses 256K. Even if we saw years of
active developement, I think we could spare enough ROM for a stable version
of ProDOS 8 and BASIC.SYSTEM.
