Sorry to add to this chain after Paul asked not to be bugged about it any further, but I have an idea... What about using two floppy drives? This will more than double the amount of space you have to play with because you don't need the OS on the second floppy, and you won't need to swap diskettes because they are both sitting in their own drives. Floppy drives are reliable, shock resistant, compatible, inexpensive and familiar (among other things). The boot code and most of the program code can be on the first disk, the configuration and remaining code can go on the second disk. If you make configuration changes, you only need to update the second floppy. Keep it simple, yes? Ryan Colp Network Specialist Canadian Systems Integration Limited [EMAIL PROTECTED] [...]
