    Some of the ancient versions of SCO Unix 3.2 were supplied on floppy
    disks. SCO "System V/386 Release 3.2" was around 20 x 1.44 MB diskettes.
    I guess its possible that the tape media had additional content. I
    expect 3.2v4.2 was bigger, but if it was 10 x bigger I'd be a little
    surprised. OTOH I trust JPR's instincts more than I do my own :-)
