Copying files between disks is moby hard without two drives.
Two drives also makes it possible to keep your application software
on one disk and your data files on multiple other disks, instead
of having to keep your application program on each and every disk
that has a data file (or else swapping disks around after loading
the program, which is impossible if the program itself swaps to and
from disk, as most do).  I have 20 or 30 disks of text files; if
I had to keep a text editor on each that number would nearly double.

	Enjoy,
	Larry
