PM 3.05 works here on a 160G that moves between a variety of machines 
including socket seven, P111, P4 and AMD 2.2G.  I keep partition sizes 
below about 30G.  I only use FAT16, FAT32 and HPFS.

It will not create large FAT32.  For a large FAT32, I create an 
unformatted partition with PM 3.05, and then format it with something. 
I think I have used PM 4 for that.

Anything even slightly serious, I only do while booted from a DOS 
floppy.  It is also my boot partition backup tool - copy it to another HDD.

Works OK with 384M.
