Wrong. MS-DOS will work with 360K SS disks also. All one hase
to do is change the information in the config.sys file and one can
make MS-DOS work with SS drives, a 5 1/4 and a SS drive or DS drive
and a SS drive or any combination of the above.
One must remember that since your working with a SS drive (3 1/5)
that you may\will have to have some of the utilities on a seperate disk.
I do tis, and place the most un-used programs on the second disk, therefore
aleveatng the gruesom problem of disk swappng.
