I have lost the earlier posting on this subject. Could someone please repost or mail me a copy of the list showing the maximum number of files allowed in the root of a diskette for the various sizes and densities? Thanks!

From my PC-DOS 3.30 manual (page 5-5): "...the root directory of a single-sided 160/180KB diskette can hold 64 entries, while the root directory of a double- sided 320/360KB and 720KB diskette can hold 112 entries. The root directory of a double-sided 1.44MB diskette can hold 224 entires. The root directory of a high-capacity 1.2MB diskette can hold 224 entires. There can be 512 entries in the root directory of a fixed disk. Unlike the root directory, subdirectories can contain any number of entries, limited only by the amount of available space on the disk."
