While we're on the subject of doublespace/drivespace, what is the largest
drivespace partition you can create under MS-DOS 6.22? I was on the MS
Knowledgebase last night and one article said something about 512MB, but I
couldn't tell if that meant a 512MB hard drive can be doubled to 1 gig, or a
256MB HD can be doubled to 512. I know that I recently that I tried to
SuperStor a drive under PC-DOS 6.3, but it only wanted to take 128MB and
double it to 256. Too small for me to take up a drive letter on a network PC
(where I only have C: D: and E: to work with to begin with).
Thanks!
