   This raises an interesting question:  the DOS 3.3 Tech Ref contains 
information about a new OS type byte in the hard disk partition table.
This byte (a 5, I think) indicates something about the partition being
continued elsewhere, thus allowing drives to be merged together into one
large logical drive.

   Has anyone used 3.3 yet, and tried to use this feature?
