I can certainly make a unix filesystem on the 2nd disk, but it always
wipes my dos partition.  If I then add the dos partition I lose the
unix filesystem.  I wanted to run both disks with a 20 meg dos partition
and a 50 meg unix partition so I could swap them around if I had to.

I couldn't handle taking a two minute siesta everytime I used control-S
or the scroll lock key.  I guess if I had a 386 it would be a quick siesta.
I wonder how many people who actually got the V2.4 update are running it?
