something that would allow a D: drive greater then 2GB and still allow DOS

and write to the drive.
Then this is impossible, since the underlying data structures of FAT16
simply don't go that high. The limit isn't arbitrary, it's 2G because
that's where the structures max out.
I don't want to have issues with DOS 7.x (AKA Win
95 OEMSR2 with fat32)
since I still want to run win 3.11 and use some cranky old video capture
cards.
Works fine, actually. Try it.
