Along the same lines, has anyone had any success at getting large DOS
partitions working with VP/ix?  Can VP/ix be made to work with DOS 4.01
and large partitions?  I have booted 4.01 from a floppy with vpix -b,
then done a SYS C:, and got a working VP/ix that comes up in 4.01.  But
things like DOSMOUNT no longer work, so the UNIX file system can't be
accessed. 
 
I also tried using DOS partitioning software (DMDRVR from OnTrack).  VP/ix
will load the driver, and I can do a directory on the large partition; but
the contents of all subdirectories appear garbled.  Is there some other
partitioning software that works under VP/ix?  Or is this simply a 
limitation in VP/ix than can't be overcome?
