I believe that this maximum "Floppy" size for dos is due to the fact that 
it expects the drive to be using a 12 bit fat as opposed to a 16 bit fat, 
thus limiting the "physical" size that can be referenced.

However, it says that MS-DOS will only recognise up to a 32Mb floppy drive,
which is a waste of a lot of Zip disk space.

Can anyone tell me if OpenDOS has the same 32Mb limit for floppy drives?
If anyone has else tried this driver, did it work OK? Does it work with 
Linux?
