Actially, since 2.00 you can define a continue file to make a 32 meg. total.
And you can have two hard drives (C: and D:) for a posiable total of 64 megs.

COrrect, and before anyone get 2.05 when they have 2.04 take a hint from me.
I bought 2.04 a few years ago but the disk went bad.  So I decided to get 2.05.
Much to my suprise the ONLY difference between the two is it had a newer version
of ProDOS.  Yes, that is right!  Did Perfered COmputing tell me this?  NOOOO!
Just took my dang money and ran with it.  When I called to complain about it.
Their attitude was, SO!  I don't perfer Prefered Computing anymore and no one
else should either!
