There's also a 1MB EEPROM mod you can do on a Mac Plus that gives you a built-in ramdisk: https://www.bigmessowires.com/mac-rom-inator/

I wonder if one could put this larger ROM, and the other files into a custom built image so no swaps are required.



Apple actually shipped the Mac Classic with a built-in romdisk, accessed by holding command+option+x+o

They had enough room left in the 512KB ROM to fit a 357KB boot disk a stripped down System 6.0.3 and a few useful tools (MacsBug and AppleShare Prep)


IIRC it also included some (low-res, B&W, dithered) photos of the developers.
