Thankyou, that would mean, if it's 612 cylinders and 2 heads, it's only
9MB! Well, I guess that's probably close enough to 10MB
Holy moly, not a lot of room to work with!
This machine also has no extended ram, so we pretty much have to be sure
we're running only a basic dos and word processor.
What's the newest DOS you fellows think it could handle? Best word processor?
we'd need to be able to read the resulting docs on the win95 machine, he
probably thinks he can transfer them back and forth. Maybe with notepad!
Methinks he'll have to settle for edit.com and notepad.exe.
