And SETVER wasn't available until V5.00

If they boot from floppy with the version of DOS that the FDISK came from,
then they can get around that.

In addition, FDISK with versions of DOS before 3.31 can't do partitions
larger than 32M.
(Zenith apparently MARKETED their version of 3.31 under the NAME 3.3PLUS)
