I can't answer specifically for ISC Unix, but under both ESIX and SCO Xenix,
I've been able to run a dos partition of any size. HOWEVER, if you want to 
copy or otherwise access the dos partition, you must keep it under 32 megs.
I am presently running Esix 5.3.2 with a 32 meg DOS 5.0 partition on a 
150 MB ESDI drive, and I have a 330 MB SCSI drive with all DOS
