I only know there is a program which let you make the disk larger. for 1.44M disks, it will go up to 1600k, and 1400 or something like that for 1.2M disks. This program has a little compatibility problem. I used to have a PC compatible 286, and it works fine. But now I got a PS/2, which is also an 286. Since this one is IBM, I guess the bios is different, and I had to run a TSR program in order to read the files. The program is called Maxi. -- 8) _ _ | user's name: Edward Wong |_ |\ \ / /\ |_) |\ | ARPA: edwong@bucsf.bu.edu |_ |/ \^/ /==\ | \ |/ | UUCP: bucsf.bu.edu!edwong
