4 drives to run UCSD P-System? The Apple port must be a real hog...

MMOS runs from a 8" sssd diskette (256,256 8bit bytes) which includes
the entire operating system. Sure, that doesnt leave a lot of space
for user file space, and FORTRAN usually takes 2 floppy drives, but
still... thats not a whole lot of space.
