never used a file sytem but just wrote directly to the

1 Meg will not even boot a OS.:(
That's one of the reasons I always liked the Amiga's OS.
Granted, it didn't have all the latest bells and whistles that the
Windows and Mac have, or some of the stuff that more mature OS's had,
such as VMS and Unix, but for it's footprint size it was quite full
featured, especially considering the GUI and the way it intereacted
with the underlying kernel. The Amiga OS on a fast 68060 CPU is
still quite a capable 'Net machine with much less RAM and a fraction
of the clockspeed of current machines.
