It's not that I'm cramped for space; on the contrary, the 40 MB stock drive would work fine. It's just that those old drives were so unreliable. The 20 MB in another SE my brother has died only minutes after starting it up. That 4.26 GB drive would have to be partitioned multiple times, and it would be useful for other things, so I think I'll keep that how it is for now, or sell it eventually.
