Stopped in at Staples today and bought a 128 MB Sony thumb drive, on sale
for $14.98 after rebate. Plugged into my Dell XP Home computer, booted up
on a DOS 7 (Windows 98) floppy, and I now have the functional equivalent of
a DOS partition, with the added benefit of portability.
I realize that not all BIOSes will recognize all thumb drives, but this was
what I'd call a low-cost experiment, and it works!
Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to pursue this.
