The other issue is that DOS partitioning wastes a huge amount of space
if the patitions are (to it) quite large. I often found myself breaking
up a drive that the OS could probably handle as-is into 4 or 5 partitions
to cut back on wasted space.

I ran a suped up Win 98SE system for way too long (2020) using native
DOS programs on it as well as Windows software.

FAT can handle 2 gigabyte partitions as stated, but FAT 32 can handle
2 Terrabytes.  Win 98 comes with DOS 7.1 usually but you can use
DOS 6.22 with it if you prefer by installing 6.22 first and then
installing Win 98 and telling it which version of DOS to boot with.
