There were some OEM versions of 3.3 that allowed greater than
32meg per partition, notably Zenith's 3.3+. Is the 3.31 with 500meg
partitons a Compaq-specific item? With the exception of Zenith, I
thought the 32meg partition barrier wasn't broken until DOS 4? Not
that I'd ever recomend the use of PC-DOS 4 to anyone.....buggy as all
heck....

things about the P IIIs is that they have a very
extensive drive table in
the BIOS so you can install a LOT bigger hard drive.
If you are running DOS 3.3[0], then you can't easily exceed 32M per drive
letter. If you are running 3.31 or above, then you can go up to 500M.
