For myself, I like the idea of being able to store whatever I might need inside the M100. Certainly I attach external storage for making backups etc. but I went for 4MB because I didn't want to be in a situation where I wanted to do X but those files are on this external storage I didn't bring with me... What can I say, I'm a data packrat. On the other hand, given the size of files in the CP/M world, 3MB+ of disk space is a ton, and yes it's starting to make me claw at the walls wanting high-speed-large-packet support for backups... If there is a beta version of LaddieAlpha or something which supports this that I can get in on, please please please :) (The only tradeoff I might want to make, given the large amount of SRAM, would be the ability to allocate a little less to the CP/M disk and a little more to REX images. I can't remember offhand but there must have been more than 20 blocks available in REX Classic because I ran into the 16 block limit really quickly when re-loading my images and ROMs... I don't know how hard that would be)
