Mm, I'd argue that point just a wee bit, I'm sure that some of the os9boot 
files exceeded that by several thousand bytes back when I had mine all 
setup with two monitors, a serial mouse and all the trimmings for a sc-ii 
& 4n1, dual piggybacked rs232 packs and a WP-RS to drive the second 
monitor, a printer on a parport and one or more of those boot files was 
around 36k IIRC, and several were over 33k.
