Sorry but this is an old hat

Me too

EDR-DOS has neither 2 GiB nor 4 GiB limit, nor DGJPP has (surprisingly), but you probably can't seek beyond 2 GiB or 4 GiB I haven't tested > 2 GiB with MPLAYER in DOS yet ... YES, it "works" in Windaube XP on NTSC, but causes horrible fragmentation, so, NextgenerationTechnologyF******S*** indeed kept what it had promised ... BTW, FreeDOS has a 2 GiB limit (at least 1.0, retest pending for kernel 2039) ... link

> How about ExFAT (FAT64) in DOS

NO thanks
