I started the process (at least for the games.) Not sure if my drive-pak was
standard as far as partitions, but it was full.

I deleted the OS9 Spare partition and created a new one called Games. The
rest can fit in the free space on the DOS partition.

Should be finished before the end of the weekend. Some of the games probably
won't run.. I know Zenix won't.
