I have been using PC-DOS 3.3 since it was released in April on a couple of AT-clones and have had no problems. One of the things it *was* to do is enable larger hard disks than 32 MB. This is kinda true, it simply has built into it a partitioning feature. Each partition must still be <= 32 MB. Maybe this is what you saw. Other than that, I dont see too many large scale enhancements from the 3.1 I was running.
