There is a company called "Sun Remarketing" which deals specificly with
obsolete Apples.. Lisas, Max XL, Apple ///, etc. which offers many peripherals
and programs to upgrade your older systems and such.  I do not have the
address
here, but if you would like me to, I'll dig it up.

The program is called "Softswitch", and allows you to have three 8-bit
programs
in memory at once.  Dos 3.3, ProDos, or other 8-bit operating system.  The
programs do not run simultaneously, but rather, just stay in memory, and you
can jump from one to another.  It will also let you save a program in
execution, which is real handy if you're trying to get past a tough place in a
game (save it before you get there, restore if you mess up), or you can save
to
disk (a great boon for Wizardry players)
