Back on MsDOS times, on computers with two floppies, as was mine, it was also typical to have the system on on one disk, perhaps "the" application, and the data files on the other. And the system/application disk could have the write tab in disable position, thus impeding damage by virii.
Remember the sys command, which would make a floppy bootable? You'd use that bootable floppy for apps, without installing the full DOS on it.
Yes. I had a bunch of boot disks, one or several per application, often with different boot choices. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
