The AVTS rewrite 
last year eliminated need to store bloated .mdb files on the floppy media, 
meaning normal 1.44MB disks (and drives) could be used instead of the 120MB 
superdisks.  This also meant 10kb .dbf files could be 
emailed to-and-fro instead of 50Mb .mdb files.  There was much 
rejoicing.
 
Enter VIBS.  
Now audio tracks are stored for each race and candidate, and although 
compressed, 1.44 does not buy you a lot of audio.
 
Conclusion:  
make sure you are using superdisks and superdrives in VIBS 
units.
