I have fond memories of 2MF 3.0 by Ciriaco García de Celis which I used to store an UC2 archive of a maximum of 2 megabyte on a single HD floppy. Booting a minimal DOS, the AUTOEXEC.BAT created a fast RAM disk D: where I extracted the UC2 contents in, a minimal windows 3.1 in d:\win - the last command was starting windows from the ram drive in the 8M machine. I had to boot with this floppy on the library index computer as all the other text processing wordperfect 5.1 computers were taken by other students. Windows write.exe was excellent as a wysywig wordprocessor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2M_(DOS)
