I don't know of any other Macs with that feature either, and I'll bet that
there were none. It was a somewhat Spartan version (not as unpleasant as
a boot floppy, much less pleasant than a fancy hard-drive installation).
Now that Systems 7 and 8 have taken over, it probably would seem pretty
barren. It sure is fast though! But none of your Finder preferences get
saved. (Where would they go?)

BTW, if you "Get Info" on the virtual hard drive, you'll see an amusing
tag in the "Location" field.
