"Give your predictions !"

I would not expect an easy solution soon. Ask DJ Delorie
about this. 4GB is a quite hard limit (32bit adressing,
FAT32).

!! >4GB of FAT 32 will NEVER WORK, whether an ERROR is reported
or not.

"We need Microsoft to give DOS programs a way to access
64-bit file I/O interface"

NO. We can bypass the DOS and its I/O interface. I am sure
this would work, it is just a nice piece of work. And when
doing this, I would prefer some Linux or other part types
from NTFS. NTFS is a M$ creation designed to host malware
2000 and malware XP.
