My 15 meg hard disk has bit the dust again for the umpteenth time.
I am getting real tired of this happening.  It seems to go just long
enough for the 90 day warranty to expire.  I am beginning to see
why Radio Shack computers are called TRASH-80s.  They live up to
the name.

Anyway, enough bitching.  Does anyone know how to make a 1 meg
version of the boot disk.  The single sided boot floppy it comes 
with has a very minimul set of commands on it.  If I could make
a 1 meg boot floppy then I could make a somewhat less limited
version of UNIX to limp along with.  This is running 3.0 Xenix.
I have two 8" floppy drives and one sick in the head 15 meg.
hard disk.  I have some 1 meg. floppies that are already formatted.
