   I have successfully used FullWrite (WITHOUT the "doohickeys", i.e.,
dictionary, thesaurus) on my 1M Mac Plus by putting a stripped down
system and my documents onto a 400k external drive and FW on my
internal 800k drive.  Of course, you can't write MUCH this way, but you
can play around up to about 60k.  I have done the same with HyperCard,
less even the 400k external drive, though again not without restrictions.

   On the other hand, I just ordered a 30M RLL-encoded drive from Cutting
Edge ...
