I don't remember how exactly I came up with the $2E00 value. Maybe it
was with a big DOS (MyDOS for many drives) and loaded R: driver.

I selected it to have a working default value for most cases. Remember,
the space for the R: driver is not dependent on whether the program uses
R:, but whether a 850 is being present at boot time.

And your argument works also the other way round :-)
If someone knows he'll never will load the program with a big DOS and/or
R: drivers loaded, he can set the address lower on the command line.
