Heh, I spent some time messing with >1680 floppies in a DOS/Windows environment. What I observed was that >1680 size isn't recognized properly in pure DOS and/or XP, so it was in my case a very unfriendly format.
Given how much simpler one's life is with 1440 size disks (including, one presumes, higher reliability due to a lower density) and how free & abundant 1.44 floppy drives are I just used two of 1440 floppy drives to give myself lots of room. Nowadays my happy place is where I boot from CD-ROM and save config to 1440 floppy. scott; canada Mats Erik Andersson wrote: > Fellow Bering-users, > > in case you will never use a floppy based Bering > system, please stop reading now in order not to waste > your time.
