   Yes, that would appear to be the case.   
      
   And if msdos has a limit of 64 MB   
   rather than 1 MB, that would be a bloody good start.   
      
   I personally don't need more than about   
   20 MB for what interests me, which is   
   os development.   
      
   And the tools for the above.
