Large disk support == LBA translation (i.e., single hard disk partitions
over 524mb in size).

large disk support?? dos has supported partitions over 32meg since at least
3.3 hasnt it? I think version 6 had Antivirus support and dos 5 was the last

version you could install on a set of floppies (or at least the setup
program
would let you)

 SmartDrive disk cache
 Boot menus
 "Large disk" support in FDISK
 Drive compression
 
 That's what I can come up with without looking. How far off am I? >>
