I have had an opportunity to use this once. Basically wanted to do a
ghost backup in DOS, but wanted to read the NTFS partition from DOS
before the backup. For my little requirements, it worked fine.
Certainly an NTFS partition would be big enough. There is a version
with read/write capability. However, you would have to format the drive
with some other program, partition magic or the like.

I don't care about the DOS booting partition, 2GB
is fine for that. I wanted
something that would allow a D: drive greater then 2GB and still allow DOS
6.22 to read and write to it. It would also have to allow Win 3.11 to read
and write to the drive.
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.
Outside of DOS 7.x is there any other solution available?
