It is possible to put only Prodos, and another system file on a 3.5er
and have it work peachy.

I have a Laser 128, so I boot from slot 7, and use it like a small harddrive
(but you don't have to spin down...)

People keep asking me if Shell or Daemon are compatible with the IIc, IIe.
YES, I wrote them on my Laser 128.  I mean, what would be the challenge to
multitasking on a IIgs?  I'll start writing dedicated gs programs when
somebody sends me one in the mail.
