this is where you need to start looking at your system hardware as devices, not names associated with description or function.
capacity becomes what it is, not 1m44 that oos decided so they could keep things simple. ram memory management is another example of short sided thinking, as is chs limits and lba, as is oos.
Your saying that it will just say "put in next floppy" like winzip does? Doh, if this works, then the previous question is redundant.
better. other oos is redundant.
if a device is considered as removable, why not consider it as continual, also?
