I run LSC on a MacPlus with 1 800K drive!  I load up a 512K Ram disk,
with a small system, the LSC program, and only the 
include files I really need.  This leaves my 800K disk free for any libraries
and my project.  I've not had a problem with this, but If I were
developing something with, say, > 200K of source it might be tight on the 800K
disk.  I'm running version 2.01 right now, but the increase in the size
of LCS itself going to 2.13 is not a lot.  Most of the upgrade is new
include files and libraries (which in my case would go on the floppy)
I really think you can run LSC on 2 800K drives, and if you start to run
out of space, add a Ram disk.
