yes i did.. my hard drive was an external 80meg parralle drive

i booted up with a customized 360k dos 6.22 disk at one point and then loaded 
the driver for the external paralell drive which would then contain a full 
copy of dos 6.22 and windows 3.0 along with other tons of 60k to 200k 
applications/games.. the only killer app as far as size is concenrned was 
wordperfect. i don't recall what versio nit was off hand but i know it was 
around 7+ megs

and around eleven or so 360k floppy disks
