    5MB? are you kidding? The record is almost 2Mb on a 1.44 unit by 2m, a
    software made by Ciriaco Garcia de Celis.

    Well, with 2m you don't need 'that pesky 1K tsr loaded', 2m comes with
    a superboot, that way 'if you bring your disks to other computers' you
    only need to ask them to restart the computer with the 2m disk in the
    a: unit. (piece of cake if you are not running win9$ ;-)    )

    2m (ver 3.0 is the actual one) is Cardware ...
