Summary: It's a tradeoff


     Yes, you can offload the drivers and load them as you need them.
You will have to load and link them yourself though.  I tried offloading
ACIAPAK, p, printer, rs232 from my system and it freed up a bit.
Unfortunately, I switched to SDisk and WorkPakII a while back and both
are larger than the Shack's equivalents.  Then net effect is that I
still couldn't compile Kermit, which I expected would be workable
otherwise.  Keep in mind that when you load modules later, they are
loaded at 256 byte boundaries and are not as tightly packed as when
they are part of the OS9Boot file.  That is, modules loaded later will
take up more space than if you put them in the bootfile.

                                         Cheers! -- Jim O.
