Hi Eric, 2.88 MB would be enough spacewise probably. However, one must create the virtual floppy for each BIOS by writing the BIOS file/folder into the FDOEM.144 file so that it is accessible from inside the ram-based floppy. This is the part I don't like so much as it must be done for each BIOS separately. Instead, if the virtual-floppy was able to access at least one device externally (folder, address, etc) then it would be as simple as copying the BIS files to that location. The folder/address in question does not have to be user-variable, a hard-coded, fixed location would be fine as well.
