I have a 65 MB Mitsubishi RLL disk for use in my Compaq Portable
and have gotten tired of having two drives (C and D).  What I'd like is
formatting software to partition the drive into one large 65MB partition.
Also, I'd like the accompanying device driver to be small (the smaller the
better).  I don't have any expanded memory or any fancy boards, just an 8088
(actually a NEC V20) based Compaq.  I've been using the drive for 3 months
as two drives and it's behaved perfectly.  If anybody knows of any public
domain or inexpensive ( < $35 ) products to do the job I'd be appreciative.
NOTE:  I specifically DO NOT want to upgrade to DOS 4.xx!  It's to buggy
and DOS 3.3 is smaller.

                             Thanks,

                             Terry
