Well, not quite, I am developing on a twin floppy SE also.  Yes you have to
really strip the system file, but I still had room for needed things like
DiskTop 1.2, miniWRITER, a programmers calculator, chooser, control pannel and
ClipEdit, and MacsBug.  I stripped all but the default fonts also.

I run under switcher and have removed the finder from the disk and have
switcher as the default startup application.  I still don't have room for a
printer driver other than preview 1.3 and if I'm going to use ResEdit or the
such like I either have to reboot or store such needed applications on my
development disk.

It can be done, but hopefully my hard disk will be on order soon so I will be
able to have such nice things as the MacMan DA on-line.

Don't worry, you can survive running 2.11 on twin 800K floppies.
