- First of all, who told you ISC was going to be phased out? It's not;
- there will be a ver. 3.01 series in addition to Solaris 2.0 for
- at least 3 years, according to SunSoft.

- Next, you can have any size DOS partition you want, and you can
- access it under ISC Unix 3.01 by mounting the partition as
- a Unix supported file system. If you want to mount it under VP/ix
- you must still restrict it to 32 MB, however, that restriction
- is to disappear under the next release. You can also boot any size
- DOS partition from the boot menu.
