I don't remember the whole story, but this discussion has been going on for
weeks.

Anyway, I have 3.31 Dos, with a 40mb drive formatted with disk manager to a .9
and 41m drives.  I have been using Windows 3.0 for more than a week with   
no problem. My primary Windows application is Excel and I have a checkbook
spreadsheet that is about 100K and I have been updating it with absolutely no
problem.
