Compaq's version of MS-DOS/PC-DOS (both 3.1 and 3.2, don't know about the
earlier versions) provides a device driver "enhdisk.sys" which permits
access to more than one DOS partition on a hard disk. To complement that,
their "fdisk" permits creation of several DOS partitions, and lets you 
designate which partition to boot from.

Thus, you could split up a 60MB disk into two partitions, and access
the first one as C: and the second one as D:. You could even bind the two
into one directory hierarchy with the DOS 3.x command "join", which
acts somewhat like UNIX "mount".
