So let’s take a quick look at what we have here:

Apple CD-ROM / High Sierra File Access / ISO 9660 File Access / Foreign File Access extensions / AUDIO CD Access

These extensions are the part of the CD-ROM driver and can be disabled if you don’t plan on using a CD-ROM. Also, I doubt a Plus or a classic will actually play an audio CD, so at the very least you can dump the CD player and the Audio CD Access Extension.

Potential ram savings: 80k+

Apple Menu Options: This control panel allows submenus which are nice to have but at the end of the day can be considered superfluous.

Potential ram savings: ~ 50k

MacTCP/Ethertalk/ Network / Sharing Setup/Token Ring/Network/File sharing monitor

If you don’t have an Ethernet card trash these!

Potential ram savings: 100k +

Macintalk / Speech Manager

Making your vintage Mac say stuff is in my opinion one of the coolest features and should be kept in my opinion…

Potential ram savings: 7-320k

Applescript / ApplescriptLIB

Applescript can be useful but if you don’t use it make it disappear…

Potential ram savings: 42-320k
