I can live with a partitioning scheme (it means that any one file can't go
past the 32Meg partition boundary), and I may have to play games with the
"active" drive letter.

OK, but I want to have all my disk space online AT ONCE.  The standard
PCDOS FDISK allows only one DOS partition, and the IBM BIOS only supports
one active partition per drive.  How do I get more than one partition active
at once?  Is there a public domain device driver I can install to gain access
to more than one partition?
