- DR-DOS reports itself as ver 3.31 like Compaq DOS 3.31

- Personally I would say that SCSI EXPRESS sounds like it isn't smart enough
- since DOS versions 3.31 and greater support over 32MB per partition. I don't
- know if the manufacturer is willing to correct that but you might try. Maybe
- lie and say that you have Compaq DOS 3.31 if they don't want to support DRDOS.
