Spectre 128 should work with STacey without any problems - I believe that
I read/saw somebody using it as a 'portable MAC' at one of the trade shows.

You can use it with only one drive, but you had better get a ramdisk.  Trying
to swap between system and your program disk gets old REAL fast.  (just like
a mac!)  I have a mega2, one drive, (saving for a HD) and can run programs
like Aldus Freehand and CricketGraph, while having the system disk contained
in a 500K ramdisk or so.  I don't think this would work too well on a 1040.
