PC-DOS 3.30 and MS-DOS 3.30 couldn't believe that a drive could be over
32M. But, they could be tricked into thinking the drive was a network
device, instead of a drive with MSCDEX or equivalent (from DOS 3.10 on,
with mostly undocumented "network defirector").
MS-DOS 3.31 and PC-DOS 4.00 could comptrehend drives larger than 32M.
IIRC, Iomega had some squirelly software to use on older DOS.
