Thanks for your reply, Russ. First, let me correct a mis-typing: I
obviously
meant to say 8 Gig., rather than 8 meg. ! With or without some provision
for
dealing with FAT-32 partitions, which wouldn't be that hard to implement,
your example does not really test my thesis. If you were running a *20* G.
hard drive, instead of a 2G. (assuming you did not also mis-type), and told
me you could see to _the end_ of it from the DOS you have -- whether
standalone
or part of an emulation core -- that would be suggestive of the answer I am
looking
for.
