I was playing civ 2, deity/138,600,000 people/all but two
wonders/smartest/most powerful/ largest/3452 score/romans, and I
pondered about an external drive idea.  Someone would write a small
shell, 1k, that used a routine to look for external drives connected to
the link port.  A floppy drive connected to the link port could be used
to store programs on.  The shell would use a routine to read and write
to the floppy as if it was a HDD?  I heard about EII or something for
the 86.  It was some sort of driver(?)  If someone, or everyone, could
produce a driver like that it could allow for some kick-ass programs.
Civ II, diablo, etc...I know this could be done because some kick-ass 86
programer made Sim City for it!  With only 82k possible for use!!
