	I use LSC 2.13 on a Mac+ with only 1 floppy drive! with a
450K RamStart ramdisk.  I just wish I had a Mac SE with 2 drives
(and was that a printer I heard there in the background?)


I use one floppy to boot up and start the RamDisk and another to program.
It has LSC, Mac headers, Mac Libraries and my current project folder.
Plenty of room!.

I compile an app to RamDisk, quit LSC, pop out the diskette, put in 
the ResEdit disk, do some resource stuff, quit, eject (for diskette's
safety) and run the app.

Off the record, I've had to reboot a couple (=a lot) of times before
I ever get anywhere with the app. Pain in the *ss. Lose the ramdisk a lot.
Mumble ... Mumble ....
