Little bit more expensive ($/meg) than the others, but can someone
tell me...

I have a Yum Cha VLBus motherboard, with VL Bus slots, all of which
are populated, one of which contains a VLBus IDE controller card.
My C drive has the BBS on it, and has a capacity of 420 meg.  My
D drive is also IDE, and is 540 meg in size.  I was thinking of
replacing the 420 meg with the above 1.2G, and then giving the
420 meg to my BIL.  Is it a simple process, and how much does it
cost?  Thanks + bye.  Paul.

P.S. I would be formatting it as a single partition, I don't think
the large cluster size (FAT) will faze me.

P.P.S. Can I still run DOS 5.0?
