Yup, you can do it.  There is a "minimal" System (6.0.something...is it 6.0.7?)
in the 512K ROM.  To get to it, you need to hold down Command-Option-X-O at
startup (or is that Command-Shift-X-O???  It's one of the two).  In fact, for
that very reason, the Classic was codenamed the XO (at least that's what MacLeak
called it).
