Actually, I bought a hard disk.  I find that helps extremely, 
and allows me to such strange things as using only 512K.  There are
few programs that cannot be written to use less than 128K if you do
it right.   So if you get the chance, don't spend 200 on a 3rd
disk drive, spend it on a hard disk.  

PS.  Yes, I have the lates Lattice Compiler, but I bough the Ami 1000
in Jan of '86 to program.
