Unfortunately, 512K is not really much to work with.  I had an 86K file
in RAM disk, my original CLI, MicroEmacs, and that spawned CLI active when
I reached the (seeming) point of no return.  I can't wait 'till my 1 meg
of ram arrives!

Nope, no warnings from MicroEmacs.  In fact, I have found that if I load
too many files into Micro Emacs, edit them, then save them, the last file
is sometimes truncated!!!  Thank goodness for backups.

By the way, has anyone out there daisy chained two CardCo cards for a total
of 2 megs?  They claim that it is easily and reliably done.
