You could use two floppies -. You need a floppy cable with
two sets of plugs ( end one has seven wires twisted
around). These were common on older computers.
Then you have 1.44 x 2 = 2.88 megs. LRP can load and backup
packages automatically to the appropriate floppy.
If you need help changing your system from 1.68 to 2 1.44
search I can send you the procedure.
You could go with an old ide CD and a floppy (see Charles'
CD version).
You could use a compact flash hooked up to the ide cable.
