OH MY GOD: Do not install IOMegaWare Zipdrive drivers on Windows 7 x64 Editions

I was planning on simply re-installing MS-DOS 6.22 from VMWARE 8.
But apperently VMWARE 8 has a ****ing limitation too:
Error when trying to add big usb drive:
"vmware 8 the physical disk is too big. The maximum allowed is 2 TB"
Google search produces:

KABOEM BABY.
Running into all kinds of limitations !
NOW YOU KNOW WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS GO BIG with ADDRESSING. YIKES.
But I am not giving up yet.
I can try and copy the ms-dos 6.22 files from an existing VHD...
and maybe use some command to make this fat16 bootable and workable...
I think there was some kind of command for it
sys c: or something not sure !
Wow... carefull don't **** the wrong drive lol and I think this must be done from ms-dos os... so fortunately I can try and run the ms-dos 6.22 vhd and try from there maybe.
Bye for now,
Skybuck.
MSDOS itself, likely has a limit for the drive size.
Showing it 2TB worth of drive, isn't exactly going
to end well.
