I'm not sure why you need another floppy, but if you want to add more
files or need to get rid of the additional RAM disk, you can simply use
2.88 images. Unpack the tools from the .cab file and copy them to the
disk image and/or add what you need. There are programs that will resize
1.44 images to 2.88 MB, Winimage (winimage.com) for example.
