I just ran into what seems to be a restriction on the number of directory
entries allowed on a 3.5" 720k disk.  I tried to put the 123rd file on
the disk, and although there was enough storage space available, I kept
getting file creation errors.

I know there is an adjustable limit on
RAMDISKs, but I'm not sure of 3.5" disks.  I can't find anything on it
in any of my DOS manuals.  I am able to copy all 123 files to my 1.2M floppy
though.
