- If the libraries are small, you can copy them into RAM. If they're a
- couple of Sparcom cards, don't waste your time. The libraries are a
- full card, almost 128K, and if you *do* copy them you won't have any
- space left anyway.
-
- Around here we get pretty adept at the 'rom card shuffle'. It's easy.
- Just think of disco dancing (you know, with all the wild arm motions...)
- while holding a 48 in one hand. :-) :-) :-) You won't wear out the
- contacts, it only takes a couple of seconds, and you can't really *use*
- two libraries at once anyway. All you're really saving is a few
- seconds and the need to carry the other card around in the case.
-
- Good luck!
