        Not entirely correct, as Zenith did label theirs as 'MS-DOS Version
3.3 Plus'. It did support partitions larger than 32M. I've not
actually booted it in a number of years to see what the VER command
reports back though. I remember using this on Z-248's and still have a
number of sets of the disks.
