Not so.  We run 20 MB disks under DOS 2.1 with no problems, other than
those caused by the 12-bit FAT pointer which limits the minimum size of a
file to 8K bytes.  In this regard (and a few others) DOS 3.1 is better:
a minimum file size of 2K is standard.  The DOS version is not your
problem, however.  I really don't know what is.  I've never seen the
symptom.
