I haven't had a chance to play with MS-DOS 4.0, so I don't know if they
have solved the problem of large drives.  However, I do know that I
was able to make use of a Maxtor drive with 280Mb with a SCSI adaptor
and software drivers from Future Domain in Tustin California.  I was able
to treat the entire disk as my D: drive.  The Future Domain software
creates larger sectors on the drive.  If that approach makes sense for your
application you should check them out.  They stand behind their products.
